Today's Verse: Psalm 14:1

Wednesday, April 1, 2026

The fool says in his heart there is no God.
— Psalm 14:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

At one time or another, most of us raised an angry fist to fate and cursed the darkness. Each of these actions is equally ineffective. To deny the existence of God is something else altogether. To rob heaven of God is to rob ourselves of grace, hope, and future. How foolish to forget that behind a Creation of wonder, order, variety, beauty, power, and pattern is the Creator. He is far greater than his handiwork, and we dare not ignore, deny, or dismiss him, for then we become our own gods, left to only worship ourselves and the beauty created for us. How small our world becomes when we do deny there is God (1 Corinthians 1:18-32).

My Prayer...

O Lord God Almighty, Creator and Sustainer, we thank you for not only being there, but being with each of us today. Please use us, your children, to awaken our skeptical world to the wonder, glory, majesty, righteousness, grace, and love that is in you! In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
