Often times when things go well we forget God, we believe that we are good and can do all things ourselves and in no need of God. We become fools in this line of thought and forget that without God we can do nothing. If we abandon God then we have taken up with the Devil. There is nothing else to say on the matter. Our corruption will increase until we have removed ourselves from the hand of God. My friends, be the fool, but not the fool who says there is no God, but as the apostle St. Paul said; we are fools for Christ.
1 Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool
said in his heart: There is no God. 2 They are
corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good. 3 God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if
there were any that did understand, or did seek God. 4 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together,
there is none that does good, no not one. 5 Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people
as they eat bread? 6 They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for
fear, where there was no fear. For God has scattered the bones of them that
please men: they have been confounded, because God has despised them. 7 Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God
shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel
shall be glad.
