What are you coping with, and how?

• “Every wise one deals with knowledge, but a fool lays open his folly.” (Pv 13:16).

The savant deals with the knowledge concealing it and using it rightly:

• “A wise man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools cries out foolishness.” (Pro 12:23).
• “The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.” (Pro 15:2).

The fool, on the other hand, pours out, with their lips, all foolishness that there is in their heart. On the contrary of the wise, which conceal the wisdom, that is to say, adorn it (Prov 15:2) with more wisdom, love and mercy, the fool opens their mouth openly, apportioning it unstintingly.

And the outcome is this:

• “Yes also, in the way a fool walks, his heart fails; and he says to all that he is a fool.” (Ecc 10:3).

It comes the question: are we getting to grips with things which make us to beef up in wisdom, friendship, intimacy with Jesus?

Many people get entangled in their works, only caring about their necessities. I wish to recollect you that it isn’t exacted of you uneasiness about your living. This is ensured in several excerpts in the Holy Scripture (for instance: Isa 1:19; Mat 6:11,31-33; Eph 1:3; Phil 4:19; Heb 13:5,6; 2Peter 1:3).

Instead, take advantage of all opportunities to augment before the Creator and before the man (Luke 2:52; 12:21; 16:9).

If, in your job, you are only gaining money, you are losing time. Recall that the money not always buy health, alacrity; much less it buys the true love, elation and peace.

So, have a good day swerving of the fool’s walks; instead, get through people around you, so that they can forsake their silliness and opt for following Jesus with you (Jer 15:19; 1John 1:3).
