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.
