April Fools

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7

The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
Psalm53:1a

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.
Proverbs 12:15

The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down.
Proverbs 14:1

The Bible actually has a lot to say about the foolish and the wise....the book of Proverbs is packed with examples of both....

I know that I have made foolish choices at times but it is not a pattern of life that I want to stay stuck in....there are always consequences that come with foolishness and personally, I want to learn from my mistakes.

I love it that Jesus doesn't just tell us to not be fools...He teaches us how to be wise.

Psalm 51:6 says.......Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

Ask Jesus to open your eyes and your mind to understand the truths of His word....the more you soak yourself in truth...the wiser you will become.

If you've got a minute go back to February 27th and read something Amity wrote, you can also click on the label wisdom and find it....It's worth reading again and seems so appropriate for today!!!
