This morning I 'stumbled' on a proverb
Proverbs 14:6 A scoffer seeks wisdom
in vain,
but knowledge is easy for
a man of understanding. ESV
14:6 Cynics look high and low
for wisdom
—and never find it;
the open-minded find it
right on their doorstep! The Message
Hmm...
I have been charged with being 'the cynic'... :(
The scoffer
the scorner...
It is suggested that the sin of the scorner is
pride ref Pv 3:34
Hmm...
No wonder the cynic can't find knowledge
Pride establishes an attitude that
'knows all that needs to be known...'
To seek wisdom
while knowing it all....
Ooops...
Lord
will I see the big red flag
when others see me as the cynic?
I never connected this
with
pride
and
lack of ability to receive
wisdom
from You.
Thank You for continually teaching me...
even when I sometimes 'know it all'.... :P
Thank You Jesus...
for revealing
my heart.
