Draw the lines


*MEDITATION*

"A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool." ~Proverbs 17:10| kjvlite~

Point to ponder on: Understanding the kinds of people we deal with is a sure way to rest of mind and positive result.

It is wise to deal with people with understanding. Trying to rebuke people without understanding their kind could result into more trouble and waste of time. The bible shows us four categories (kinds) of people, the wise, the fool, the mocker and the simple.

Here we are looking at the attitude of the two (the wise and the fool) among them towards rebuke. If you have to deal with these kinds of people, it requires spiritual wisdom and understanding. So when you are dealing with people and you notice the following reoccurrences, it is a pointer to the kind or the category you are dealing with.
1. A wise person shows understanding and take caution when you rebuke (express a strong disapproval or speak in an angry or critical way to)him or her, but a fool will not. "Rebuking people who have good sense will accomplish more for them than hitting them 100 times with a stick."
2. Critical words enters a wise person and accomplish the result you want. But when you use the same for a fool it will not produce same result. Even if you punish a fool he or she is adamant in his or her mind to oppose knowledge and believe in his wrong that he or she is right even in the wrong.

Consequently, It takes the spiritual wisdom impacted into a fool to bring a lasting change. Remember it is the fool that says in his heart their is no God, it is simply because of what he or she believes(knowledge) so he or she opposes anything contrary to his or her knowledge or belief system until such is faced with the reality. Therefore, use words to rebuke a wise person and commit the mind of a fool to God for impartation and choose your words wisely when dealing with a fool and trust God for such people for a change.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His peace.
