Day 301 Sparrows and Horses | Proverbs 26:1-3
Sparrows and Horses
1
Honor is no more associated with fools
than snow with summer or rain with harvest.
2
Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.
3
Guide a horse with a whip, a donkey with a bridle,
and a fool with a rod to his back!
Honor isn't meant for a fool. In Proverbs, a fool isn't someone with low intelligence, but someone who disobeys God's commandments and makes fun of His laws.
Verse 2 is encouraging because it reminds us that when we follow God's will, some people may try to stop us or criticize our efforts, but their words won't have any lasting impact.
Verse 3 uses humor, but it's a warning: if I don’t want to be punished, I need to avoid rebelling or mocking God's commandments.
This means I must carefully study the Bible to understand what God wants. Not knowing God's commandments isn't an excuse for disobeying them.
Think about it: ignoring or mocking God's laws is unwise and, according to the Scriptures, makes a person a fool.
