Learning gives a man more material to become either wise or foolish and because foolishness is native to our fallen hearts, it is far easier to be a fool. Proverbs repeatedly describes the fool as a scoffer: cynical toward everything except his own opinions, destructive rather than constructive, quick to undermine others while accomplishing nothing himself. Such scorners love to sit on the sidelines, criticizing those who labor for the Lord, imagining themselves to be the true thinkers of the age. But God answers scorn with scorn: “He scorneth the scorners,” while giving grace to the humble and granting glory to the wise. Divine justice is beautiful fools reap shame, but the lowly who turn to the Lord receive wisdom and honor. The question is stark and unavoidable: will you choose to be “yourself” a fool or a child of God made wise by His Spirit?
