I was going through the scriptures this morning during my quiet time at the coffee shop and something hit me pretty hard.   

Proverbs 14:15  

“A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps”.  

A simple man here refers to those who are persuaded easy because they lack Judgment or who are immature, naive, and inexperienced.  That is us!!!  How many times do we hear something and just accept it as truth without really thinking about it?  Even worse, how often do we then take what we just heard and tell people about it leading them astray?

The second part of this is about a Prudent man which is somebody with good judgement or good sense.  That person really thinks through what is being said and weighs it with Truth. There is a lot of ideology that is being thrown around, and if we would take a second to think about what is being said, we would find that it is just regurgitated junk.

Let’s not be a simple people, but a prudent people knowing the difference between Truth and fiction.

Application:  Read the Word of God and understand His Truths.

(Don’t take my word for it, but find out for yourself 🙂
