The Company of Fools

Main Scripture: Stay away from a foolish man, for you will not find competent advice. Proverbs 14:7

Today’s scripture cautions us to avoid foolish men as they are not able to give very good advice or in other words you will not learn much from them. I believe that it is dangerous and unwise to seek advice from or keep company with foolish people. When making a business decision or a decision on who to partner with or even seeking advice on some issue that is plaguing you, ladies talking to a fool could prove detrimental. It could result in you making bad decisions that will result in dangerous consequences in the long-term. The Bible tells us that a foolish man is:

·         A VERY GOOD TALKER - (Ecclesiastes 5:3 KJV) … a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

·         QUICK TEMPERED - (Proverbs 12:16 NASB) A fool always loses his temper…,

·         QUARRELSOME - (Proverbs 20:3 ISV) … every fool is quarrelsome.

·         LOVES MISCHIEF – (Proverbs 10:23 KJV)… It is as sport to a fool to do mischief:…

·         UNTEACHABLE IN CERTAIN AREAS - (Proverbs 1:7 KJV) …but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

·          MOCKS THEIR OWN SIN - (Proverbs 14:9 KJV) Fools make a mock at

 sin….

·         DENIES GOD – (Psalms 14:1) the fool hath said in his heart, there is no God…

We have to humbly admit however, that at one time or another we have been foolish, as such while we should be cautious about keeping company with foolish people, we should always seek God’s advice and wisdom as true wisdom comes from God.

Let’s Pray

Father, help us to discern those among us who are foolish, but Lord we also pray that you teach us to be wise in all that we do and in all that we say.

In Jesus Name

Amen
