Fools 3
What does the Bible teach us about the fool and his consequences.
The fool thinks that he is smarter than everyone but is unteachable. He has high hopes and big plans but ends up working for the person that is responsible and teachable.
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: And the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. Proverbs 11:29.
The fool can’t control himself. He has to lay it all out there. He exposes his foolishness, his stupidity on a regular basis. The flaunts his sin.
Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: But a fool layeth open his folly.
Proverbs 13:16.
The fool never learns because he simply will not pay attention. While the wise person looks and listens the fool stares off into space. He is in another world.
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; But the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. Proverbs 17:24.
No matter you can’t convince the fool. He gets angry and emotionally excited. He becomes reckless and careless. He confident that he is right and you are wrong. He knows more than his teachers, his bosses.
A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: But the fool rageth, and is confident.
Proverbs 14:16.
Don’t be the fool. If you recognize yourself in the verses then repent and get right with God. You were meant for more. You can have it in Christ, in wisdom and obedience. You can surrender to God and allow Him to direct your paths.
