Some historians believe the April Fools’ customs began in France, although no one knows for sure. It may stem from a calendar change in 16th century France — the moving of New Year’s Day from April 1 to January 1 when the Gregorian calendar was adopted. People who continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1st rather than the new date of January 1st were referred to as “April fools” and others played tricks on them.
The Hebrew word for the word fool is “nabal” and means senseless so the fool basically, according to God, has no sense and why, “THE FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART, “THERE IS NO GOD.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.” (Psa. 14:1) Here is the truth about this, all of God’s creation is so precise, wonderous and miraculous only a fool would say this all just happened, there is no one who is responsible for it. I remember when I got saved, the next day, on the way to work, I think I noticed for the first time, what a beautiful world we were living in. Such a verity of beautiful colors and shapes, I never really paid attention to it before. “O LORD, what great works you do! And how deep are your thoughts. Only a simpleton would not know, and ONLY A FOOL WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND THIS…” (Psa. 92:5-6) When we give our lives to the Lord we can answer this question, “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” (Jam. 3:13)
LET’S LIVE A LIFE THAT DEMONSTRATES OUR GODLY WISDOM…
