Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
This verse became alive to me when I read it yesterday, because that is what i have been doing - not grinding the fool - but crushing grain in the mortar and pestle to make bread. It is real tedious and painstaking work. No matter how much I pound and pound and pound, yet the foolishness will still not depart from the full. No work of man's hands can make wise the foolish. Yet all of us are foolish because we are born human, born in sin. Our whole mindset and thoughts are foolishness with God.
O how wonderful are the promises of God - James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
I have been meditating on the foolishness of this world and of man... my post on that is long-overdue... so should be up soon.
Go over to my baker blog to see what happened to the handful of crushed grain.
