Proverbs 27:3
3A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,
But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them.
-Proverbs 27:3
Attempting to deal with a fool in their wrath is a difficult ask for anyone. The fool does not play fair. They will hurl insults, lies, and deceive others into taking their side. They will disrespect and do anything they can to provoke you. Many would prefer carrying a heavy burden than the burden of a fool. We must not let ourselves be provoked. This is most certainly easier said than done, but there is no doubt that we have supplied in us by Christ Jesus the means to walk out righteousness. Be prepared to turn the other cheek. Be prepared to be sacrificial. Be prepared to be patient and endure the trial. Pray for them. Be sure that you do not overcome evil with evil but overcome evil with good.
