Proverbs 26-28
Let’s focus on Chapter 26. This chapter presents 3 types of person you don’t want to be: The fool, the sluggard and the troublemaker.
Read the chapter and as you go through each type of person, who comes to mind? I wouldn’t mind betting you quite quickly start thinking of someone who you think fits each category.
The thing is, that’s not the Christian way. The Christian way is to always hear God’s word to YOU first before you go applying it to someone else.
So try reading the passage again and consider whether the descriptions might apply to you! It’s not nice is it? But we need to trust that it’s good when God’s word acts like a mirror for us, showing up our faults. It helps us to be reap about ourselves and real with God. It also helps us to see how we need to change if our lives are to honour God, and isn’t that what life is really all about?
