Dear Stupid Person

Did you know there is a whole book in the Bible written just for stupid people? The book of Proverbs starts off by explaining the reason it was written.

These proverbs will give insight to the simple. Proverbs 1:4

“Simple” is just a nice way of saying “stupid.”

Stupid Does

What is stupid … really? The book of proverbs defines it really well. With hundreds of sayings it divides people into two groups. The wise and the fool.

• The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin. Proverbs 10:14
• The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice. Proverbs 12:15
• Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult. Proverbs 12:16
• Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright. Proverbs 14:9

There really aren’t stupid people, there are only people who make stupid decisions. Proverbs gives us a divine field guide. Thats right, US, because WE all make stupid decisions.

In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short. Proverbs 24:14
