When I read this verse this morning it reminded me of something I seen at Cades Cove outside of Gatlinburg. We were making the loop and seen a group of folks gathered around so we of course got out to see what was going on. Well there was a momma bear and two cubs roaming around and everyone was taking pictures. As a lady was taking pictures she got in between the momma and the cubs and I told her very plainly not to do that because she puts herself in danger of momma attacking her in defense of her cubs. The lady just kind of looked at me and walked away! Now think about that as you read this verse.
Proverbs 17:12
12 Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs,
Rather than a fool in his folly.
God is giving us a clear warning to stay away from foolish man. It can be very dangerous for our spiritual lives to hang aroung those who are foolish in their walk with God. When we spend a great amount of time around folks like this they will influence us to make foolish mistakes in our spiritual lives!
So let us make sure on this Tuesday, we are wise not foolish in our walks with the Lord!
