Waverly Church of Christ

Mark Twain once said, “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” Solomon added one more item about such an individual. It is that he is ignorant of the obvious — “he does not even know how to go to a city” (v. 15b) — compare this to “He doesn’t know enough to come in out of the rain.” What we must do is avoid folly and live by God’s wisdom. 4. As a matter of fact, Solomon has been telling us that the best thing we can do is trust God, do our work, accept what He sends us, and enjoy each day of our
lives to His glory.
