Deal with foolishness!

“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 KJV

To ignore God or to push His presence aside is the height of foolishness. Scripture makes it clear that true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, and the whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments (Proverbs 9:10; Ecclesiastes 12:13). When God is removed from the center of life, corruption, confusion, and spiritual collapse follow. Foolishness is not merely a lack of intelligence; it is a spiritual posture that chooses independence from God over obedience to Him.

The Bible shows us that wisdom is proven by obedience. Joseph refused sin because he understood that no earthly gain is worth offending God (Genesis 39:9). Jesus also warned that hearing His words without doing them is like building a house on sand; collapse is inevitable when storms come (Matthew 7:26-27). Without God’s presence, anything can overrun your life, but when you carry His presence, you carry victory, direction, and rest (Exodus 33:14). That is why we must guard His presence jealously and never trade it for temporary pleasure, pressure, or convenience (Psalm 51:11).

Prophetic Word: I declare that you will walk in divine wisdom and not in foolishness. You will not trade God’s presence for anything this world offers. The fear of the Lord will guide your decisions, preserve your steps, and establish your life on a firm foundation. You will overcome temptation, walk in obedience, and stand strong in the storms of life, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Father, thank You for the gift of Your presence and the wisdom that comes from fearing You. Deliver me from every form of foolishness and from every decision that draws me away from You. Help me to love Your will, obey Your Word, and walk in Your ways. Keep me rooted in You, and let my life be built on a firm foundation, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
