Marie;s daily verse: 1 Chronicles 7:14: If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

More on the fool. A fool is a person with a divine learning disability. The truth of God is just as available for him as it is for the spiritually wise. Look at Proverbs 18:2 (NKJV)  “A fool has no delight in understanding,But in expressing his own heart.”  The spiritual fool is interested in one thing: his own ideas.  He hears divine truth but takes no delight in it.  Proverbs 10:8 gives us the consequences. “The wise in heart will receive commands, But a prating fool will fall.”  The fool loves the sound of his voice and babbles on and on with his verbal silliness, speaking of things that have no ultimate importance. He will not receive the commands of God, and as a result, he falls. He falls farther and farther away from God and divine truth.  Once a human decides, “There is no God,” he lapses deeper into foolishness.  To be a fool is foolishness!

Father, may my heart be open to Your Word. When I speak, please help me to avoid being a fool. I want to speak in harmony with divine wisdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
