Momma Didn't Raise No Fool-- Or Did She?

Paul Tripp summarized this list of what a fool looks like in Proverbs. And after reading through Proverbs this week, it was convicting to see a list put together. It only reminds me of how foolish I have been in my life. Thank you, Lord, for saving a fool like me.

The description of the fool in Proverbs portrays a person who:

• Is convinced that he is right (Prov. 12:15).
• Quickly shows his annoyance (Prov. 12:16).
• Is hotheaded and reckless (Prov. 14:16).
• Spurns discipline and correction (Prov. 15:5).
• Wastes money (Prov. 17:16).
• Delights in airing his own opinions (Prov. 18:2).
• Is quick to quarrel (Prov. 20:3).
• Scorns wisdom (Prov. 23:9).
• Is wise in his own eyes (Prov. 26:5).
• Trusts in himself (Prov. 28:26).
• Rages and scoffs, and there is no peace around him (Prov. 29:9)
• Gives full vent to his anger (Prov. 29:11)
