July 14, 2026 Bible Study — It Is Foolish to Make Up Your Mind Before You Have Heard All the Facts

Today, I am reading and commenting on Proverbs 18-21.

I have a Youtube video of me reading the Scripture passage and my comments. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Also, here is the link for my Patreon page

Writing something about today’s passage is challenging because the writer comments on a theme, goes on to other themes, then comes back and comments further on a previous theme.  Once again the writer comments about the difference between the way a wise person and a foolish person treats what others say.  The wise person patiently listens to what others have to say, and make sure they know as many of the facts as can be known before they decide what to think about a subject, let alone before they express their own thoughts on it.  A foolish person only listens until they can express their own thoughts.  The fool arrogantly thinks that he knows all that he needs to know and that pride will bring him to destruction.  While the wise humbly listen to the advice of others and patiently seek more knowledge before they make a decision.  Because they are humble they will be honored.  In all of that no matter what we plan, and how much advice we receive, we will not be successful unless we follow the plan which God has for us.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
