Read Proverbs 26:1 Some things just don't make sense. Like snow in the hot time of the year. Or rain during the dry time of the year. When someone chooses to honor a fool, it just doesn't make sense. But how do you know who is a fool and who isn't? By what they do. Matthew 7:20 says that "by their fruits ye shall know them." Verse sixteen asks if "men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" No, you know that a plant is a grape vine if grapes grow on it. You know that a tree is a fig tree if figs grow on it. And you know that a person is a fool if they do foolish things. Our verse for today reminds us that it doesn't make sense to honor a foolish person. Do you want to be thought of as a fool? If not, don't do foolish things. Don't do foolish things like the person in Proverbs 26:1, do wise things, like the person in Proverbs 25:13. I want to be thought of as a faithful person, don't you?
