Pro 10:18
He who conceals hatred has lying lips,
And he who spreads slander is a fool.

Pro 10:23
Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool,
And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.

Pro 12:15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.

The fool…
has lying lips
conceals hatred with his lips…sounds smooth, soothing…yet deceiving
spread slanders with his lips
does wickedness…enjoys it as a sport…considers it a sport
thinks his way is right…he can do no wrong in his own eyes

The man of understanding has wisdom related to the sporting of The Fool.
The wise man listens to counsel.

I see this regularly.
Especially within the church.

In leadership, The Fool is common.
Doing what is right in their eyes.
Thinking they are The Leader, therefore they can do no wrong.
They are not to be questioned.
They know all, because they are “called”.
Unteachable.

Yet, there is hope.
There is a young generation of leader rising.
Wise men who listen to the counsel of the Lord and His Word.
Men of understanding who walk in humility before the Lord and one another.

Determine to be such.
