Mocker or Wise Person (Proverbs 9)

May 25, 2017

What’s the difference between what the Bible calls a “mocker” and a wise person, and which are you?

 

A mocker scoffs at others and is contemptuous. When offered wise counsel they reject it and get defensive. But offer correction or guidance to a wise man, they add to their learning and appreciate what you gave them. A humble heart respects God, receives His wisdom, and seeks more of it. According to Proverbs 9, the wise gain great reward and blessing in life for having received God’s wisdom. The mocker? They suffer alone. So, which one are you? I bet your family hopes you are the wise one.
