Wise People And Fools

Proverbs 13:16

Wise people think before they act; fools don't--and even brag about their foolishness.

This foolish person was me before God found me, so I understand the pride and low self-esteem that causes people to brag about all the foolish choices that bring problems and griefs into their lives. They're trying to either validate that they aren't any more stupid than others, or trying to get others to join them in their misery. 

I would like to say that I haven't been that fool since I became a Christian, but I can't; it has taken me several decades to gain any measure of godly wisdom to be able to think clearly before I make decisions.

May our Father grant us all His wisdom in all our choices, to remember to think about the consequences for ourselves and others before we take that fateful step.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
