FAITH CAPSULE: No one should not afford to live life foolishly. 

1 Samuel 13

Foolishness is a sin before God, but God does not tolerate sin.
It takes a foolish-minded one to take a position as a speaker for a forum that claims there is no God.  
Psalm 14:1 buttressed, “The fool has said in his heart that “there is no God” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.” 
One that says in the heart that there is no God is such that speaks it from the mouth that there is no God. 
Jesus buttresses, “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.” (Matthew 12:34-35) It is always evil to say there is no God. Often, it is an action that reveals a foolish one, not only what utters from the mouth.
Are you saying there is no God by your verbal communication, body language, or the company you relate with?
The word will point out who the foolish is.
The foolish ones have all turned aside, not serving the Lord God.
The foolish ones engage in corrupt and dishonest practices, such as bribery, and lack integrity.
The foolish ones do not do good but evil in approach and live in sin and iniquity.
Does any of the above sound like you? 
No one should not afford to live life foolishly. 
Living life in the wicked world of today demands a constant answer not to be foolish. 
The world is wicked. 
Genesis 6:5 testifies, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”  
Without a doubt, it takes a foolish mind to embrace the wicked world. 
As a believer, how do you answer to a foolish world? 
A believer must be with wisdom, not to be foolish. 
Foolishness is a sin, and sin does nothing but destroy. 
One with the life of a sinner is far away from God.
Saul became a sinner by his act when he offered the burnt offering not belonging to the King but to a priest. 
In a time of war against the Philistines, Saul could not wait for Samuel to sacrifice. 
At the arrival of Samuel, Saul gave an excuse for his foolishness while his act was foolishness to have engaged in offering. 
Samuel responded to the foolish act of Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you.” (I Samuel 13:13)
In engaging the wicked world, avoid foolish excuse that amounts to sin before God. 
Foolishness is a sin before God and will deny sinners from seeing God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be delivered from foolish engagement and not to miss the presence of God.
