Proverbs 12:15-16 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise. A fool’s wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.: (Proverbs 12:15, 16 NKJV)

He describes two types of fools. First is a self-centered person, in 2Timothy 3:2 "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,"

These are people who will not listen to good counsel. They think the world revolves around them. This passage warns that, this will be the condition of the people of the world in the end times. Lucifer had this attitude in heaven and God threw him out. Secular humanism and many modern leaders of even some churches are teaching that man can become god. To think too highly of themselves put them in the category of fools, according to Apostle Paul. We must heed the counsel of God to be wise. His counsel is the Holy Bible. Wise counsels teach the Bible ways.

Another type of fool is one having a "short temper". Someone lacking in understanding (a fool) gets mad before he even knows what the issue is. We are warned in the Bible not to get angry without a cause and to not let the sun go down on our anger. A prudent and careful man thinks it out before reacting. He listens and weighs. He subdues emotional outburst and is a model of self-control. He can ignore an insult with grace and prayer. It is written: "Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who insult you."(Luke 6:28 GW)

And I say, AMEN!
