Proverbs 12:16 Impulses
Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.
The country I was born in and currently live in is the United States of America, but it is the United States of the Offended too many. Before the USA became an official country, people came from Europe for religious freedoms, and years later, government officials made documents saying we have rights given to us by God. The more freedoms and independence the people of America gain and practice, the less we live like the God we are under. Instead, we live like a nation of annoying fools demanding rights that are sins to the God this nation is supposed to be under. Criminals almost have more rights than law-abiding citizens, and law enforcement cannot serve and be protected without being labeled a racist, even if the law office is of any race. Foolish people are fast protesting with violent riots and stealing anything with looting. On August 26, 2020, such an event happened, and 132 fools were arrested. Wednesday afternoon at Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, MN, a young black male was on the run from the police because he had committed a murder. As the police closed in on him, the criminal turned his pistol on himself, pulled the trigger, and killed him. As the news circulated and word got out, another Black male died because of a police incident, violent riots, and looting. Condition so bad that the governor had called the national guard, and a curfew was issued. Only law-bidding prudent people obey curfews, and foolish people show how annoying they are, even to themselves. When it was over, there were few apologies, no return of items stolen during the looting, or any help to rebuild what was destroyed. Is the recent rioting protest about racist injustice or annoying excuses to commit more crimes? The word of God says yes, and so should excellent parents. My mom and dad always told me two wrongs made no right. That kind of teaching is the wise word of loving parents to their beloved children. The book of Proverbs is wise words from the loving Father God to His dear children. Anyone who reacts on an impulse in the ungodly foolish matter, especially without knowing all the facts, is only looking for reason and an excuse to sin and justify it. God bless you all, sinners and saints; the Lord God loves you, and so do I. Samuel Jerry Head, His loyalty bondservant.
