Cruise Control

(Proverbs 9:13 KJV)  A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

The problem here is not that a person “knows” (3045) “nothing” (1077/4100).  The problem comes because they know nothing and are content in that position.  One of the mantras of Proverbs is that we seek wisdom, knowledge and understanding.  They don’t just happen.  The woman being described is so typical of our modern mentality.  Since this was written thousands of years ago it must be a human condition not a sign of the times.

So?  Don’t be satisfied to be a party animal.  Don’t focus on gratifications but on holiness.  Growth is not an option and it is not automatic.
