"Only a fool says in his heart "no" God." When a fool says there is no God, he is not saying He doesn't exist, he is saying he refuses to count Him as worthy of his notice.
God calls people like this "fools" because He created them, to deny the very Being that could blow on them and make them disappear, is what I call stupid at best.
The believers life is one of great joy and peace even through the hardships. There is more despair than ever before, teen suicide is up because all hope has been taken away from the youth. Their families are in shambles, the world doesn't care, they are "on their own completely", in their minds. There is no one they can count on and no one they trust.
For the believer, we love people but do not place our trust in them, we place it in Christ Who knows the end from the beginning. Those who do not have Christ, all they have is themselves in this growing narcissistic mess.
My prayer is always that those who walk in despair will listen to the still small voice of God when He speaks to them, that they will realize that this life is not all there is and only Christ can fill that emptiness they feel.
If only people would realize that no matter what is going on in their lives, Christ can take them through it, coming out the other side victoriously. God doesn't bail us out of our troubles, but He will go through with us, if we place our trust in Him alone.
Psalm 56:8 "You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?"
