Proverbs 26:15-28 - The Heart is Revealed by Deeds

The book of Proverbs is constantly comparing people who are foolish to people who are wise. The Bible repeatedly describes foolishness by relying on oneself while wisdom is relying on God’s guidance. Foolishness fuels the fire of a corrupt heart but wisdom brings the heart to God. Wisdom gives us the eyes of the Lord to see the world in a new light. Lying develops hate within our hearts. A lack of love leads us to destruction, but a heart grown with truth lives with God.
