When God says...
"A foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knows nothing. For she sits at the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city, To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here”; And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, “Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell."(Proverbs 9:13-18 NKJV)
He shows us the tell-tale sign of folly. It's a clear contrast to wisdom's ways. It's loud. It’s a social climber, who likes to squeeze in and sit in a place of prominence. He calls to coax those who pass by in its proximity. It's best ignored by those who are wise and just go straight on their way.
Folly seeks out those who are witless, who wanders aimlessly without clear direction. It lures to quench their thirst and hunger with tainted water and rotten food. Not knowing they are hooked for disaster, like others who have taken the path before them.
As children of God, let's walk with clear destination. Route clearly mapped out that no one can divert us to the way of folly. Always mindful that the BIBLE is the only 'Basic Instruction Before Living Earth'. Yes, let us come, listen and learn to His instructions. And, walk in His ways. Prophet Isaiah musters us with these words- 'Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.' (Isaiah 2:3 NKJV)
And I say, AMEN!
