Proverbs 1:22

Daily musings, gripes, etc.  (limit 3-5)  😏

2. Changing a habit - how would you go about it?

Proverbs 1:22 - how long, O naive ones, will you love being simple minded?  And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing and fools hate knowledge?

What does it say (in my own words)?  

What does it mean?  3 classes of people are described here and none kindly.  So hopefully you are none of them.  😄

Study Questions:  

1. Have you worked to gain any wisdom today?
2. Are you lazy and ignorant?
3. Do you accept instruction from others or are you stubborn and pig-headed?
4. What will it take to get your attention?  A divorce?  The loss of another relationship because you refuse to change?

Personal application:    We have all found ourselves at one point or another in this mess of lazy procrastination.  Repent and change the behavior!  We do not have to be content with being stuck in a rut!  Take the offer of God's wisdom!....Blessings on your day.  😇
