Topic: How Foolish Can We Be?

Everything belongs to God. Every part of our life belongs to God. Everything we think, say, and do, belongs to God. However, we do not really want to believe this. Accepting all things belong to God is difficult because we have our personal wants, our personal needs, our personal material things. Let's look at an example of how foolish we are when we do not see how all things belong to God. Here is an example of how things really are in life. You are sitting in a room filled with all kinds of electronic devices, gadgets, gizmos, and equipment. There is another person in the room with you. The other person sits behind a control panel and the control panel has a power wire going to every item in the room. All the things in the room are under the control of the person at the control panel. You can choose to ignore the person at the control panel, or you can choose to recognize the person has control over everything in your environment. To ignore this person at the control panel with all this power would be utterly and totally foolish. However, in our scenario, we have left out a key element. In the room is not just the control panel person, but also another person, a great adversary, who is trying to hurt us and get us to ignore the control panel person who has all the power. Some people, by the way they live and act, not only ignore the source of all the power (God), they befriend the great adversary (Satan) who wants to hurt, maim, and kill. Our little scenario breaks down a bit because in our life, we also have control, responsibilities, and a will to make decisions. What does not break down is how foolish we can be when we ignore God has the real power.
