Have you ever kicked up an ant hill or knocked down a hornets nest? What happens? The ants and hornets are placed in deathly peril and they are disorganized but they futilely attempt to defend and repair their existence to restore a sense of normalcy. What happens if you disturb them again? The futile cycle will continue on.
The lives of the people who choose to deny God are in the same position as the ants and hornets. The wicked of this world are so intent on repairing their lives that they do not acknowledge God and his authority. As David wrote in Psalm 14, it is complete and total foolishness to reject God. The people of this world need to acknowledge and turn away from their futile attempts at salvation and turn to the true salvation found in Jesus Christ.
