April 1st for TUYC - On Being A Fool - We shouldn't!
prayer prompt
Pray about your biggest fears.

blog prompt
Since it is April Fool's Day, how does the Bible describe the fool? How do you deal with these kinds of people?


The Bible describes one who is a "fool" in several scriptures. These come from the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament:

1. A fool starts fights. (Proverbs 18:6)
2. A fool is easily upset. (Proverbs 12:16)
3. A fool believes everything he reads. (Proverbs 14:15)
4. A fool loves to talk, but hates to listen. (Proverbs 18:2)
5. A fool is fiercely independent. (Proverbs 28:26)
6. A fool makes light of sin. (Proverbs 10:23)
7. A fool hates their mama. (Proverbs 15:20)

We should take heed, lest we fall into the category of being "a fool". We also need to examine ourselves before we go pointing the finger at anyone else. (Matthew 7:3, ESV: Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?)

Just my thoughts on the matter...
