When the Fool Says There is No God
2 Kings 1
When fools say there is no God they:
1. Disregard the power and providence of God.
- This disregard is seen in light of:
- Ahaziah's affliction.
- Elijah's intervention.
- The soldiers' destruction.
2. Go down a painful path of unbelief.
- Unbelief:
- Can give a place to the enemy.
- Leads us to pursue idolatry.
- Keeps us from personal humility.
Reaching a modern day Ahaziah means we must be:
3. Devoted to playing our part.
- Our part:
- Begins with a calling.
- Takes a great deal of courage.
- Will usually involve confrontation.
- Doesn't guarantee a change.
- Our text also speaks to:
- Parents.
- Our perspectives.
- Our priorities.
