from Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong · host Rick Yuhas
Send us Fan MailDog Puke 10 An employer who hires a fool or a bystander is like an archer who shoots at random.11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.12 There is more hope for fools than for people who think they are wise.Verse 10 of Proverbs has been tricky for translators, with various interpretations that don't always match up. But the message seems clear: if you hire a fool, their poor decisions will hurt many people. Likewise, if you hire someone without proper qualifications (just anyone who happens to come along), it can lead to harm as well.Verse 11 is blunt and vivid, comparing a fool’s behavior to insanity—doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results, like Einstein’s famous definition. Even when something doesn’t work, a fool keeps repeating it, hoping for a better outcome.Jesus may have had Verse 12 in mind when addressing the Pharisees and Sadducees. People who think they know everything about an infinite God have closed their minds to the idea that they might be wrong.Think about this: Do you keep trying to fix broken relationships using only your own wisdom? That’s a sign of foolishness.If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth. Real moments.
