Proverbs 14:14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
With these verses we see again how there can be differences in the types of people in this world. We have the backslider that is consumed by his own world and are unbelievers. The simple that fall for anything and no one cna change their mind. The fool that believes he can do anything even if it is against God and this gets him into trouble. Lastly we have the person who lets their anger rule them and flies off the handle at anything while the wicked sin and are disliked by all. I fear that our world has more people in like theses than the the ones we are about to look at.
A good man will put his flesh under the rule of the spirit so he does not falter. The prudent man continues with this in that he checks what he says with God’s word. Then we see that the wisdom we gain helps us examine everything to see that it is pleasing to God.
1 John 4:1 “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
