Good morning all,
The word of the day is “hoyden.” The writer of Proverbs gives some great insight in this particular passage. When speaking of the difference between a fool and a wise person, we see that someone who is in pursuit of the former always makes sure to listen to counsel. I remember early on in my ministry, I believed that everything that I did was the right way to do stuff. Unfortunately for me I had to learn from the school of hard knocks. It wasn’t until I started listening to my mentor that I realized that I actually did have room in my cluttered arrogant head to gain wisdom.
The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.” ~Pr. 12:16
My question is: do you seek counsel in your life from those who know what they are talking about? I’m don't mean taking advice from just anyone... I mean really looking for wisdom from those who have fruit on the tree. I feel very blessed to have the influence of so many phenomenal mentors over the years. My prayer is that you are prudent in your quest for righteousness and self growth. Don’t allow people to look at you as hoyden, or obnoxious and arrogant, but instead be a witness to them with your quest for humility and excellence.
Praying for you,
MO
