Proverbs 26:12
12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
-Proverbs 26:12
A fool who knows he is a fool has far more wisdom than he who is a fool but is convinced he is wise. We see this in those who rejoice over sin and wickedness. There is no question that foolishness is promoted and celebrated in our culture. At least some are willing to say that it is probably stupid, but they just fail to change. What of those who are convinced such wickedness is a good thing? There is a void of hope there. This is one of the many reasons we should surround ourselves with those of the faith and ever be in the Word of God and in prayer with Him. It will refine us. It will challenge us. It will keep us from being wise in our own eyes. Consider yourself with humility and receive correction with humility. May the Lord guide you and lead you as you put your trust in Him.
