A FOOL'S FOLLY

“For the fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the Lord, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink,” Isaiah 32:6 ESV. A simple definition of a fool from a biblical perspective is a person who does not believe in God: “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” Psalm 14:1 ESV.  Another type of fool is someone who rejects His divine knowledge and authority: “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion” Proverbs 18:2 ESV. Every person has the choice to be as wise as they should be or foolish as they want to be. However, to choose to be a fool is to choose the way of those who are perishing. So how can I be wise? “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him,” James 1:5 ESV.
