Proverbs 1:20-23. Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square. She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate: “How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge? Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise.”
This needs no explanation. Look around you. I am willing to share my heart with those who refuse to see. I will make wise those who are choosing to remain ignorant. Yet, they will not. Do not miss this. They will not. They choose. At some point, the blindness and deafness and hardened hearts become what they choose. I do not force.
