Psalm 14 tells us;-
A fool says in his heart " there is no god" NAB Ps14:1
Paul draws our attention to wisdom and foolishness in Matthew 25
The reign of God can be likened to ..... NAB
the kingdom of heaven will be like NIV Matthew 25:1-2
10 virgins who took their lamps
and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
All alike have gone astray NAB Matt 25:3
There is no one who does good NIV Psalm 14:2
All have turned aside Psalm 14:3
They all became drowsy and slept ESV Matt 25:5
The wise virgins took oil in jars NIV Matt 25:4
along with their lamps.
Yahweh is looking down from heaven at the sons of men
to see if a single one is wise
if a single one is seeking God Jerusalem Psalm 14:2
In Psalm 14 , wisdom equates with "seeking God"
The workers of wickedness.... NASB
do not call upon the Lord
Are all the evildoers devoid of understanding Alternative service book
who eat up my people as men eat bread Psalm 14:4
and do not pray to the lord.
We could see Psalm 14 as on image of the Lord looking down
prior to his second coming .
The parable of the wise and foolish virgins may be seen to depict
those waiting for the return of our Lord.
Titus 2:11-14 ESV.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people
12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live
self controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age.
13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of our great God and
Savior , Jesus Christ .
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify
for himself a people for his own possession
who are zealous for good works.
In Titus 2:14 wisdom equates with " Zealous for good works"
Ephesians 2:10 ESV
For we are his workmanship, created in Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Those who are doing God,s will prayerfully,
are preparing for the coming of the Lord .
