You might have seen the brand of bread,
"Dave's," which includes "Dave's White Bread Done Right."
Psalms 14:4-5 (NKJV) 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And do not call on the LORD? 5 There they are in great fear, For God [is] with the generation of the righteous.
The Psalmist David's recipe for disaster: Don't call God, have no knowledge and live in great fear.
Break down those ingredients:
"no knowledge"
We all start from a negative position. Not neutral, or zero- we're so far left on the number line, they ran out of digits. It would be bad enough if we just had no knowledge, but we act like we do have knowledge and act like others don't have knowledge and end up running with assumptions and making up a lot of stuff. So, having no knowledge is bad but we make that bad situation worse- a lot worse.
"do not call on the LORD"
You'd think the creation would call out to the Creator. He tells us how we got here and why, He tells what we should do and how... I could go on, but it's sufficient to say we think we have it all figured out.
My favorite example of this lately is where the Bible says "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded," and gives practical everyday commands for living life and then concludes with "These are the statutes which the LORD commanded." And yet people who claim to love God and keep His commands will say these commands are no longer relevant for life today. Bad enough not to call on the LORD; worse yet is to discard what He directly tells you.
Is it soup yet? When we do not call on the Lord, we do not have knowledge, we will be in great fear and will eat up (God's) people [as] if we were going to eat bread.
Folks aren't satisfied with being ignorant. They have to take it to their friends to make their case. They have to seek out a church to support their case. They have to go online and slander whoever disagrees. Dissatisfied people are always consumers; fear drives them compulsively to eat everything in their path. They will seek you out, track you down and won't lay down their forks until they have finished you off.
