I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him. That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.
(Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 ESVST)
There is only one real power in the universe, God. He is the only one who has the power and authority to grant life and take life. He is the only one who can make sense out of life, death, suffering, and prosperity.
When we try to ignore Him, we are attempting to avoid the only reality there is, and are thereby forced to live in a fantasy world. This fantasy world is most fragile, and is held together with lies, deceit, and the false promise of a better tomorrow, when apart from God there is no hope for any tomorrow.
A wise person starts and ends with the premise that there is a God and he/she is not Him, and then lives in that context. A fool lives as if he/she is sovereign, when in reality he/she is nothing.
