Title: The Wise Vs The Fools

Scriptures: Proverbs 23:9

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus!  Proverbs 23:9 says, 9 Don’t try to teach fools. They will make fun of your wise words.  Wow!  It is not just that fools don't listen to wise words, they actually make fun of them.  Have you ever been in a situation when you gave your words (seriously and you know that your words have wisdom) yet you ended up made fun of?  Well, I guess you have become a victim of the fools trickery.  Fools turn the table around and make you look like the fool when you say or do the right thing.  Example, when you don't smoke or drink, more often, you become the "kill-joy" of the group and ended up one of the many topics they talk about and make fun with when they are together and drunk. This is just a classic example but i'm sure there are many others.  But don't be ashamed, do what is wise and right!  Because the wise will always know who's the real fool in the group.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus thank You for such wise words today.  Help me to remain strong and firm when it comes to my stand in what is right and wise.  Help me not to get swayed by the foolishness of others.  Give me the courage to stand up what is right and wise.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
