Proverbs
10:10
He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow:
but a prating fool shall fall.
Oftentimes when a person winks it
means that whatever they just said is not absolutely true in itself. Perhaps it was meant in jest or to tease the
other person. Sometimes when someone
winks at another it is to get their attention to see what that person is about
to do or so. Any way you look at it the
wink of an eye represents deception.
Here we see the Lord saying that this kind of trickery or jesting causes
sorrow. We should all be warned that
teasing another to get a laugh is not the way of a follower of Christ.
A prating fool means a babbling or chattering fool. The enemy would want us to waste our passion
and words on insignificant matters especially those surrounding our own kingdom
and righteousness. May we be ladies
whose words are carefully spoken with the purposed intent of building another
and/or blessing the Lord. We don’t want
to fall. We want to stay in an upright
position. Let us choose our words
carefully.
