Proverbs - Tools For Fools

Proverbs 27:22

Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle,
yet will not his foolishness depart from him.


Fools are not to be handled with anger and force.  It will not drive foolishness from them.  If you are dealing with a foolish child, be cautious of your footing.  Do not be pulled into heated arguments and physical lashes.  When you discern foolishness, listen to the only wise God and seek His counsel on what to say and what not to say.  Foolishness can be driven out by the rod of correction, not the rod of anger.  Correction involves speaking the truth and bringing the foolishness into the light of truth.  Be a mom who can hold her ground because you are standing on the rock.
