On a journey, they never ask for directions. When they are ill, they do not go to a doctor. Even if they do go to a doctor, they do not obey his advice. They are proud, and Solomon calls them ‘fools’.A wise man behaves differently. He is humble. He listens to advice.Verse 16As Christians, we try not to insult other people. But sometimes other people will insult us. And we must learn how to behave in this situation.A fool is a person that hates wisdom. He wants to do evil things. A fool is proud, so he hates an insult. An insult upsets him, so he is angry.If we are wise, then insults will not bother us.Many people insulted Jesus. They said that Jesus had a devil (Mark 3:22). Jesus’ family thought that Jesus was mad (Mark 3:21). Even when Jesus was dying, people insulted him (Mark 15:29). This did not upset Jesus. He even prayed for them (Luke 23:34). He taught us to do the same (Matthew 5:11-12). People may insult us because we belong to Jesus. But God will help us if people insult us.You know how it says that a fool doesn't listen to advice? Well, it's not like fools never listen at all. Sometimes they do, but here's the catch: they only listen to the advice that agrees with what they already think.But wise people? They're different. They don't just seek out advice that confirms what they already believe. Instead, they look for people who will give them the best solutions, even if it means admitting they were wrong.Now, about Verse 16, think about social media, especially platforms like Facebook. It's become a place where people can vent their frustrations almost instantly. And sometimes, they say things in the heat of the moment that can really come back to bite them. I mean, I've heard stories of folks losing their jobs because of something they posted online without really thinking it through.Lemme ask you, here's something to think about: It's easy for any of us to justify our own bad behavior. But having someone close to us, like a spouse or a trusted friend, who can call us out on it is really valuable. That's what Verse 15 is getting at—we all need someone who will give us honest advice, not just tell us what we want to hear. So, who's that person for you?If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth. Real moments.
