Meditations From Proverbs, Part 18

"It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom." -Proverbs 10:23

We as believers must not fall into the trap of playing the part of a fool. The Scriptures remind us that "foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child," but by adulthood these fleshly tendencies should be a thing of the past. The consequences of foolishness, whether enjoyed vicariously or acted out in person, should have succeeded in doing its refining work in our lives so that we no longer seek its company. To actually make foolishness a sport is the ultimate in folly and is this not what reality TV is all about? What does this tell you about our nature? What does it tell you about us? That's the way I see things.
