A Chapter of Proverbs a Day…
Ummm, I’m taking a break from SOAP for the day because, well, I’m a bit confused and thought maybe you could help.
Scripture: Today we are to be reading and selecting a verse from Proverbs 26 that jumps out and I can’t seem to get past Proverbs 26: 4-5:
4Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you will be like him yourself
5Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.
It seems to me that being like the fool would be bad, but enabling the fool to be wise in his own eyes would be bad, too. So what do we do?
I’m stuck and can’t come up with the O or then A for this because I’m, well, stuck. And I don’t want to just gloss over that and pick another verse and shove my questions aside.
Can anyone help? If you have any insight on this to share, I would love to read it.
I do have the P. I can always Pray:
Prayer: Lord, thank you for this community of believers and questioners and growers you have shared with me through MomsToolbox. Please bring some readers by today who can offer true insight into these verses so that that those of us struggling can read it and grow in the way you intend.
I want to grow in true wisdom from heaven, as defined in James 3:17 as “…pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” Help me to grow in your wisdom and guide our community as we grow together.
Thank you so much, Lord, for your guidance and love. And for the answers which are sure to come.
