“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday;  April 2, 2008

 

          I hope that you made it though April Fool’s Day, 2008 without much trouble.  Isn’t it great that we only have to live through people being foolish one day each year!

          Actually, foolish living isn’t confined to one day a year; nor is it merely where people try to put something over on someone else.  All too often, foolish living is all around us.  While our society isn’t too fond of the word “fool”, the Bible isn’t afraid to use it in its purest form.   There are several places in the Scriptures that highlight foolish living; but, one as prevalent today as it was on the day it was written is described by the passage that notes, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”  (Proverbs 1:7)  The wise man, Solomon, observed that believing in God and pursing His ways show wisdom; any other type of life is folly.

          Let’s not get caught up in “Every Fools Day”.  Let’s seek to know God and live according to His truth.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
