How long will you...?
23019
Proverbs 1:22 The Context: King Solomon asked God for wisdom. Proverbs is a collection of wisdom gained by carefully observing people and the consequences of their attitudes and behaviors. Through Solomon God asks us a variety of questions.
God Asks Us: How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?
JNE: I must admit that my tendencies are to prefer simple, enjoy scoffing, and being content with what I already think I know. How much better would my life be if I sought to understand and appreciate the complexities of the people and life around me; to truly love those I so easily criticize; and to genuinely work at knowing God and the world He has placed around me. The question could also be asked what sort of crisis will it take for me to take life more seriously, to care rather than criticize, and to be a real learner.
