Wisdom Proved Right by Actions
... a fresh post for Kiki.
(Matthew 11:18, 19 NIV)
"... John came neither eating or drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' [19] the Son of Man came eating a drinking and the say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdon is proved right by her actions."
--> It's easy to be critical of appearances. It's easy to be skeptical when/if they don't immediately and exactly line up with our preconceived ideas. It's easy to "pick at" and "pick apart" surfacy things and never hear the message. Beware arrogance!
--> People can/will be critical of what I do regardless of what it is that I do --- but if I'm focused on doing what's right, my actions will prove themselves. Live at peace with others in as much as it depends on me, but do right first and foremost. Beware people-pleasing!
