Fools Mock Us Psalms 39:8

8 Rescue me from my rebellion, for even fools mock me when I rebel.


Listen to David's comment "even the fools mock me when I rebel!" What a revelation. How many times have we changed our tune because someone from on the outside came in and we decided that it was not cool to be a Christian? What did we do? We compromised our stand for God to appease someone that we in all likelihood do not even know and for someone who could care less about what we stood for. In a lot of cases people who take no thought for God still respect those who do take a stand for God!

David knew the truth; he knew that even fools, those who say in their hearts that there is no God, even fools mock those who refuse to be steadfast in their faith. Here is a true statement. People may not agree with your Christian commitment, but they will respect you for it and when something happens in their lives and they need someone to lean on, you may well be the first person that they turn to. Even fools know that it is foolish to fail to stand on one's principles, especially when those principles are faith based.

Perhaps one of the reasons God is not able to do more with us as a nation is because we are too careful not to offend someone or make them feel uncomfortable with talk about sin and salvation and heaven and hell and mercy and. We have become so self-conscious that we are no spiritual good. We are so afraid that we are going to say something or do something that will either offend someone else or embarrass us. Either way, we have refused to be the people that God wants us to be in this God forsaken land that we are now living in.

The fools are laughing tonight because they are winning the battle for the minds and lives of our children and our adults who so much want to be politically correct. Because we stand for nothing, we are falling for anything and everything. Because we refuse to stand for some things, we are falling for so much more. We are living in a world that is running out of control and it looks like any hope for much of a future is dim at best. If America continues down this road of moral and spiritual degradation that it is on, and we experience as much change in the next 10 years as we have in the past 10 years, this land will not be fit for man nor beast!

We need to take a stand and stand with God and stand for God and let the fool laugh in his own folly or better yet smile at his discovery that there really is a God who does love Him with an everlasting love!
