Proverbs 18:1-5 Fools and their desires

Good morning everyone! Another great day to be alive in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

Proverbs 18:1-5 "Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense. Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions. Doing wrong leads to disgrace, and scandalous behavior brings contempt. Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook. It is not right to acquit the guilty or deny justice to the innocent."

Yesterday, in Proverbs 28, we talked about moral rot within a nation. Today we talk about the desire of a man, who, from his behavior, will alienate himself from all others. He is an unsociable man who cares only about his selfish concerns. He scoffs at every sound enterprise. But you know what?

The fool loves to share his opinions, but he has no desire to grasp real understanding. This person will soon become a reproach and will never achieve a position of respect in the community.

The wise man is certain to become a source of enrichment to the members of his community. His words are deep and clear; they are a wellspring continuously sending forth fresh materials. To accept the wicked is not a wise course of action.

Yahweh abhors false and biased decisions in the courts of this world and counsels the separation of his people from all who would commit such actions. Take time to think about God's words. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
