Proverbs 27

These saying focus a lot on the fool and the sluggard. The focus I need to keep in mind as I read this passages is not what comes to mind first. I am tempted to assign names of others to each of the traits I read here. To dwell on such things is the unmentioned actions of a fool. I need to be open to the Holy Spirit's prompting to see in which of these ways I am being tempted to follow. The words I read are to examine my life for evidence that I have not only surrendered to the lies of the flesh but am living comfortably within those lies. It would take the conviction of God for me to see if I am living as a fool or sluggard.
