Proverbs 23

The shortest verse in this chapter is the one that caught my attention; "Don't try to talk sense to a fool; he can't appreciate it." This will even apply to me when my actions and attitudes are foolish. If I reject reason and common sense then there is no reason for a wise teacher to offer me his teaching. Primarily because I will not be willing to listen. Pride will have overtaken my thinking and nothing of righteousness will be able to penetrate that shell. God will have to first break me open, then my vulnerability will be God's entry into my life that will bring about the change that he wants to see and that I need.
