"The Fool..."
“The Fool…”
Blessings folk!
I’m not a big fan of the “holidays” and “celebrations” of man.
Especially the type of the “April Fool’s”.
Here is an interesting article related to the history (largely unknown) of the “April Fool’s”.
The Word has much to say to/about the Fool…let’s spend a little time looking at it…
Psa 14:1
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good.
Psa 53:1
For the choir director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”
They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
There is no one who does good.
A fool declares in his heart “there is no God”.
A fool is corrupt.
A fool commits abominable deeds.
A fool does not good.
Pro 7:22
Suddenly he follows her
As an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool,
Pro 10:8
The wise of heart will receive commands,
But a babbling fool will be ruined.
Pro 10:10
He who winks the eye causes trouble,
And a babbling fool will be ruined.
A fool lacks discipline.
A fool will babble unto ruin.
A fool will wink the eye to cause trouble.
We will see that there is often a juxtaposition between the fool and the good/righteous.
Be not a fool.
Be wise of heart.
