12.11.24. Actions reveal our true mindset.

Proverbs 29 Wisdom vs Foolishness

Listen to this wise counsel: A fool lets fly with all his temper. Did you ever stop to consider that when you let your temper take over that you are acting like a fool? The definition of a fool from Webster: In scripture, fool is often used for a wicked or depraved person; one who acts contrary to sound wisdom in his moral deportment; one who follows his own inclinations, who prefers trifling and temporary pleasures to the service of God and eternal happiness. OUCH!

Fools do not demonstrate wisdom and reveal it through their actions. When I was asleep last night a dream came to me when I allowed my temper to speak. Why did I remember this after many years? God knew i was going to read this chapter and He wanted me to be reminded of what He sees and thinks. 

Today as you go about your work and interact with others take time to meditate on this verse so you don’t join the company of the fools. Instead meditate on what a wise person would do such as holding their tongue and acting righteously.
