Are You a FOOL? Click or Copy and Paste to LISTEN NOW!!! http://cinch.fm/spiritedconcept/485248. Proverbs 10:18 NIV Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander is a fool. Greetings! BlogFam, A Fool is... a silly or stupid person; a weak minded or idiotic person; a person who lacks judgment or sense. Are you a fool? Now I have no doubt that most of you read this definition and then answered this question in the negative. No, I am NOT a fool! And I totally understand why you would respond in such a way. I do not know of one person who boasts that they are silly or stupid. I am not familiar with anyone who would brag about themselves as weak minded or idiotic. I cannot name anyone who would pat themselves on the back for lacking judgment or sense. Are you a fool? And while we all might quickly say NO upon first hearing this question, I invite you all to step back for a few minutes in order to reconsider our NO based on the scripture for today: Proverbs 10:18 NIV Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander is a fool. So maybe now i should ask a few different questions. How would you answer the following questions? Have you ever covered up your dislike for someone with a lie? YES or NO. Have you ever spoken words against anyone's character to someone else? YES or NO. If you have answered yes to one or both of these questions, then you might want to reconsider your answer to our original question. Are you a fool? But do not answer too quickly because the word says.... Proverbs 10:18 NIV Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander IS a fool. WOW! Well, I think we all just need to pause and pray.... Lord, please forgive us/me for being foolish. Forgive us for lying to ourselves and others about our hatred, dislike, disappointment, disgust, displeasure, aggravation, frustration, contempt, grudges, envy, malice, aversion and bitterness toward another person. Lord, forgive us for spreading any malicious, false, or defamatory statement. Lord forgive US for being foolish, for acting as fools , and for being in denial about our foolishness. Lord, forgive us and correct us so that your love for us would be free to flow through us. Help us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves and to resist the temptation and the urge to lie or to slander or to be fools.... IN JESUS NAME.... PS... I am still blogging on the go... More details in due season... Thanks for your patience!!! God loves You and I do Too!!!
