Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
How terrible must it be to go through life, trying to make sense of what must otherwise seem like a purposeless existence? What are we supposed to do - create our own purpose? But how do we do that with no moral compass?
It's enough to make me pity the unsaved. Reflecting on these anointed teachings compels me to get down on my knees and thank the LORD for providing such detailed instructions, so that I don't have to figure out anything for myself. Praise be to Him that for any and every question I have in life, all I need to do is to open my Bible.
Praise Him for His sweet tendermercies.

Amen Brother. This is one of my "go-to" verses when I'm asked to explain Biblically why the atheist is so hopelessly lost and demented. They fall into the well-known satanic trap of attempting to think for themselves! Then they attack us when we bring them God's Truth©.
