Today I read Proverbs 9, which talks about the difference between the wise and the foolish. Today I considered that we have to adjust our responses based on the individuals around us.
Treatment of the Wise vs. the Foolish
Proverbs 9 is an instruction to handle just and wise people differently from scornful and foolish individuals. Wise individuals will take care of their tasks and be prosperous. It is good to teach, rebuke and instruct wise individuals because they will love you. Scornful and foolish individuals lead you toward death. It is not good to correct them because they will hate you. We should consider the person we are dealing with and modify our talk and behavior.
Questions and Thoughts for Today
