“Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool,
but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.”
– Proverbs 10:23
We live in a culture that’s turned almost every sin into a joke. Our culture laughs and scowls at the idea that God has standards and that there is an objective, unchanging right and wrong. Right has become wrong and wrong has become right. We have become, by and large, a nation of fools. We think nothing of sin, promoting and celebrating it across every type of media while despising and rejecting God’s way. That is the way of the fool. Reject this path, it leads only to ruin!
For those in Christ, we must never be the fool. Don’t envy the carefree ways of the fools you see, they only lead to suffering now and forever. Understand and appreciate God’s wisdom. It is unchanging. It is always fruitful. It is for you! Take pleasure in living by God’s standards and in obedience to God’s Son, Jesus. Feel God’s love and pleasure and let that lead you to higher holiness and deeper relationship with Him. Choose this path, it leads to unending joy!
Many times each day, you will be offered the choice between the way of the wise and the way of the fool. As enticing or entertaining as the fool’s way looks, find peace, contentment, and happiness in God’s will and way. Always #FollowJesus
