Psalm 14
There are those who just whisper that "There is no God," or who simply shrug the shoulder and by their
actions say, "No God for me." Others say it with a grin and giggle, a laugh, a shout, a gesture. "No
God for me."
Such an attitude constitutes a person a fool. The word "fool," as used in the Bible, denotes a want of
virtue as well as a serious lack of wisdom and knowledge. There is unholiness and rottenness at the heart. There
is an alarming moral decay of the mind. There is a bald, bold, consuming badness at the core of his conceited being.
He says, "There is no God," because that is what he wishes, that is what he wills, that is what he desires.
He says, "No God for me," because that is what he wants to believe and wishes and chooses. In case there
should be a GOD and he could be killed, such a man would become a killer. CHRIST was slain by such. These fools
run counter to reason, conscience, the word of GOD, the evidences of creation as well as common sense.
Only fools say, "There is no God." None but fools will say, "No God for me." The word "fool,"
interestingly, is "nabal." Nabal was the name of the husband of Abigail, and he was a fool by name,
by nature, and by choice. An unholy heart, unclean hands, and a muddy head constitutes a man a fool.
Alfonsus, King of Castile, used to employ his leisure-hours in the study of astronomy. Having discovered
what he supposed to be an irregularity, he said, "If I had been by when the Maker of the world was at work,
I could have given him some good advice."
