Have you ever encountered someone who simply wouldn’t listen to wise advice? Or what about you? Have you ever refused to listen to words of wisdom?
Main Points:
1. Recently, while reading in the book of Proverbs, I noticed that Solomon repeatedly used the words “fool” or “foolish.” I decided to count and learned Solomon uses the word “fool” 72 times.
2. The Bible teaches us that a foolish person is the one who leaves God out. According to the Scripture, the fool either doesn’t believe in God or they don’t consider God and his ways. They leave God out. The fool doesn’t follow Godly wisdom or advice. The fool leaves God out of their planning and go their own way.
3. To be wise we have to choose to pursue God’s wisdom. So, let me ask you, Who are you listening to? Your own wisdom? The wisdom of your friends? The wisdom of our culture? The wisdom of God?
