Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.

Does this seem to be the exact opposite of yesterday? Think it through. God wants us to not cause strife, but He also wants us to show people when they are in contempt of God’s Word.

The difference between these two verses is how they end. The first to not be like a fool and get drawn into strife, but this to stop a fool from burying themselves in misunderstandings.

Trying to understand when someone is actually wrong and when they are just telling lies can be difficult. Get to know them first and you will have a better understanding of how they live their lives.

Proverbs 26:4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.

There are times when answering someone who is causing trouble will only lead to more trouble. Sometimes people are just out to cause trouble for the sake of it and the best way of diffusing that situation is to keep quiet or ignore them.

It is sometimes difficult to know when to answer and when to keep quiet, but if you will ask yourself what you think God would do in this instance before answering, you will have a better chance at doing the right thing!

God wants us to live peacefully with others, not to live under the threat of war all the time…

Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.

So how many things have you got planned today? Or have you already had pranks played on you? We look at this day as a day of pranks so we can call someone a fool…

Every second of every day God continues to have to put up with people thinking that He is not real or even doubting Him and His ways. Every day He can call all of us fools because of what we have done.

And yet, every day God is willing to forgive and forget those who are willing to place their faith and trust in Him. Will you, today?

Matthew 21:22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.

Just as it is impossible for some to believe that Christ rose from the dead, many will not believe that our prayers will be answered if we fully trust in Christ.

We must trust in the whole Gospel and not just the parts that we think are easy to believe. We must trust God, Christ and the Holy Spirit because they will always act together as one; that is the essence of our faith, that God is always true.

Christ has achieved the impossible so that we can beat the impossible and live the impossible with Him. So why doubt that He can answer the impossible?
