1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

                  -Proverbs 5

Good morning and God bless you! TGIF.  The old sage Solomon knew a thing or two about people. He observed them through his seasoned eyes and found not all that say they have the purest of intention…really do.

 

A real old joke tells of the cat that digs the bird out of the cow patty did so not as an effort to rescue him, but for lunch. In like manner we must be aware of those we want to yolk up with and for certain those who want to yolk with us. It certainly takes a team of oxen to plow using a double yolk plow, but if one ox doesn’t pull their weight it falls on the other.

 

Solomon’s warning starts off simply as a conversation adjuring his son to stop and lend his ear, and once that ear has been lent, Solomon then weaves a story perhaps from his own failures. He never lets up and you find that he seems to be talking of a woman, but it easily applies to people.  

 

There is a fine line between good intentions and those that present themselves having them. Vet people against the word. The word of God reveals much about people and their intentions and as Lady Tina says, “Fruit don’t lie.”

 

Go to fellowship this Sunday, we all need it.
