'Ello, 'Ello ladies and gents. Hope we're all doing well today :) woke up at 6am, i'm on coffee, so I'll do my best to stay on topic as much as possible LOL. We are in proverbs 10:13-14. I read these two lines and then i just kept reading these same two lines over and over again. Why it stuck with me, i have no idea. maybe someone out there needs this, maybe God's going *hinthint* *nudgenudge* and it's just flying over my head. Anyways...hop on to it!
So in the first part, 'Intelligence speaks words of wisdom'. We all have that one friend(that's kinda like that little voice in the back of your head that likes to tag team you). "don't do that", "you know it's dumb idea", "well what if we did it this way instead...", "you might not wanna hear it, but here's my two cents". Next, is 'but fools must be punished to learn their lesson". Again, we all have that one friend! "naw man it's good"*broken appendage*, "how would you know? you ever done it?!"*grounded for a month*, "here! hold my beer! watch this y'all!"*cue sirens*. The intellects, were really good in school. They learned quickly, helped other who needed the help, so long as it wasnt that guy who took their lunch money(is that still a thing now? i've been out of school a while lol). But really, even then, that intelligent person would still help that bully. probably cuz they knew they'd be their boss one day and could pay them back after biding their time...anyways....so yea intelligence. it's a good thing. Be it intel for the FBI, or computer tech, teacher, counselor, etc. You're gunna have to have the intelligence on a subject(s), to be able to give sound, wise advice, to the 'fool' who's off singing, *cyndi lauper voice* "girls, just wanna have fun" or that other one who reminds you of spongebob.
Next verse, "wise people are quiet and learn new things, but fools talk and bring trouble on themselves". Pretty plain and simple. You have your quiet people in class, or work, and then well...then you have those guys. The ones you wanna laugh at but dont cuz you know the boss or teacher will be right around the corner any second. Like this one guy i use to work with. He'd go back in the warehouse, and make a cubby hole in between boxes to take naps in an extremely 'i wouldn't of guessed some one was sleeping in there' fashion. I'd laugh a little, and i was that person, 'dude, you really shouldn't do that. you're gunna get caught one day and get in some real trouble if you dont end up fired'. 'nah, it's good, i wont get caught, now go on newbie before i do get caught' would be his reply, eventually, only looks would hold our routine convo. Back then i was, in fact, new to the job, and i was a huge people pleaser, and i firmly believed 'snitches get stitches'. So i just went about my own work, ignored him, and just watched, Some people might of say i jyinxed him tell him every time, 'you're gunna get busted. I promise it wont be me who says it, but you're gunna get busted. you should probably quit and actually work man". At this time, a few weeks had passed, and i'm just getting more and more agitated with his laziness, cuz we're having to pick up his slack. But i kept my mouth shut, and just kept working. After a while, he did get busted finally. Apparently this is something he did quite frequently, so when he was busted, he got fired. I usually am pretty quiet, i observe, learn quick, and i wont really socialized too terribly much until i know my job well enough to start multi-tasking. When i learn what needs to be known, and do it efficiently, i then start observing people more, and i turn into that intellect we spoke of earlier who would be 'wise' on occasion. "why do it that way? why not this way?", "i dont think that's a good idea. why dont you handle this situation this way instead?" I had a friend, who would do some not so very smart things..like he got taken home in cuffs a couple times. So after the third time, of trying to help him, i just quit..i was still there for him, like a good friend would be, but when he spoke about being in trouble, and how he wont do it again, only to end up doing it again...well..i just kinda sat there. One day it came to, "ok kac, throw me a bone...there's this thing going on, and i really wanna go, but i really dont wanna get in trouble again. help me out here" and i'd answer him. "i'm tired of you being in trouble. so listen up cuz i'm only saying this once. That's a terrible idea, you know d*** well it is! honestly, you shouldn't be asking if it's a good idea, because i know you know!" i'd start, and he'd sulk a bit like a scolded child going "i know, but i'm just not that smart most the time. i just wanna have fun', and i'd reply with something along the lines of "shut your mouth. you are smart. you just ignore the little voice in your head and you do it anyways. If you know or think it's a bad idea, it probably is. which means you shouldnt do it. when you can come to terms with that, and get your head out your behind, you'll understand how much easier life will be. you can be smart about things AND have fun at the same time" and with that i'd give him a hug say "i love ya like brother, i dont like seeing you hurt or in trouble, I've said my peace...the rest is up to you love." and we'd go off to whatever it was we were doing. I took him a few more years and i believe 10 days of jail time for it to finally all sink in.
So, In closing, Intelligence=wisdom, acting/being foolish=rough life. I'm sure you've all seen it. The two friends or couples who are complete opposites? When i see these funny little couples, even in my own life, i'm like, 'i bet that's how my angel and God feels sometimes'. Where you're being told time and time again, 'that's not a good idea, how bout you do this instead', we ignore it, do our own thing anyways, and then comes the facepalm and the smack on the back of the head with a, 'i told you so'. Sometimes, it takes one time for a foolish person to catch the hint, sometimes it takes longer. Then we have the small percent that knows for a fact, and just does it anyways cuz 'it's the only life i know' and they end up getting themselves permanently in jail or killed. Best thing we can do is just pray about a person or ourselves. Pray for a discerning spirit on how to handle a certain situation, or that a certain individual gets smacked by the spirit, or God, for a wake up call to turn their life around. There's only so much us humans can do for another. The rest would be up the Holy Spirit and God himself. Have a blessed day y'all :)
