Proverbs 1:22-23 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? (23) Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
The father of our writer taught that the fool says in his heart that there is no God.
The fool lives his life as a natural being and a spiritual orphan. He does not know his Creator; neither does he wish to know Him. He does not understand the head nor the tail of his destiny and leads an unconscious existence. The fools has to be brought to the knowledge of truth that he was created by a God who has for hjim the most marvelous destiny. The fool needs to be taught the knowledge of God so he can be delivered from his folly.
Sad to say, there are fools who do not want to come under the covering of God. They want to continue their lives of spiritual transience. They prefer to be shouting stars with no other goal nor purpose but to crash at any moment on the surface of a desolate planet or worst, cause damages on a populated area.
How long will it take for the fool to realize that his only chance to life is to come to the knowledge and acceptance of the covering of the Master who has created him? How long will the fool love folly? How long will the fool hate knowledge? Not even our text today answers this question. It seems that all things will not come to reckoning until the great day of the white throne judgment, at the restoration of all things.
