26 July 2012; Proverbs 26
Who is a fool?
v1 - not fitting for honour
v3 - needs discipline
v5-6 - talks rubbish
v7-8 - useless
v9-10 drunkard
Like a dog that returns to his vomit
is a fool who repeats his folly.
(Proverbs 26:11 ESV)
v12 - wise in his own eyes
v13-14 - sluggard, lazy
What speaks to me is v11 - a fool is someone who repeats his folly.
How we learn, and how we turn away from the evil of our hearts and so as not to repeat the undesire actions...
It is not the lips services, but a change of heart - that triggers the desire not to repeat the folly.
I pray for myself to learn - keep my heart pure. I pray for Josef - that he will learn discipline.
It is so nice to be comfortable in the lazy mode - do nothing. On the other hand, are we busy running tasks... Ultimately we do not want to be lazy for God and yet do not be wise in our own eyes.
