Simple Observations

(Pro 7:7 KJV)  And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

It would seem that Solomon is having a moment of jumping to conclusions.  How could he make such a quick assessment of this young man?  It occurs to me that maybe it was not quick.  It is totally possible that he has seen this young man before.  Maybe he has even had conversations with him.  It is even possible that he is the son referred to in verse 1.

Given time we get to know people.  We learn their weaknesses and strengths.  It is not being judgmental to use discernment.  Sometimes it is wisdom at work.

So?  Always be willing to make decisions based on what you know even if the conclusion is not pleasant.
