'A prudent man concealeth knowledge'

Posted

“A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.” Proverbs 12:23

Those who have wisdom and knowledge don’t show it off but remain humble, looking to God and His Word for correction and guidance. Those who are foolish openly proclaim their foolish thoughts and ideas for all to hear. Another proverb, not found in the Bible, says it like this: “People are like wheat. When the head is full, it bows down and hangs low; when the head is empty, it stands tall and waves around in the wind for all to see.”

O God of wisdom and all knowledge, grant that I humble myself before You and hear Your Word. Keep me from the way of fools. Amen.

[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
