The Fool Hath Said in his Heart

As a child, I can very well recall looking forward to April first when it was acceptable to pull jokes on family and friends. 

You know what I'm talking about:

"Hey, Mom, your shoe is untied." My mom would proceed to look at her shoes. "Ha! April Fools!"

"Hey, Sis, someone went into your room and took your favorite doll!" My sister would run to her room to find her doll exactly where she left it. "Gotcha! April Fools!" 

"Hey, Dad..." Oh, never mind. Smart kids don't pull April Fools jokes on Dad.

Now, I am mature and have not pulled a single April Fools joke on anyone in years. 

Webster's dictionary defines a fool as a person who lacks good sense or judgement.

The Bible defines a fool a bit differently:

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. " Psalm 14:1

I've heard it said a time or two that believing in God is for people who are weak and use God as a crutch. Well, the Bible says it is foolish to believe there is no God. I often wonder how these people go through life seeing the beauty of creation all around them and not believe in the God that created it all.
