A Ray of Hope

(Pro 8:5)  O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

Usually when Proverbs talks about these personality types it is with a shaking of the head and no real hope.  Here there is a different implication.  We have a ray of hope.  This seems to be saying that the empty headed fools of our lives can actually do something about it.  The problem is that there is no pill or magic spell that brings about the transformation.  It seems obvious that they need to want it enough to put in the effort.

So?  Don’t give up on the fools in your life.  They do need to change.  That is the bad news.  The good news is that it can happen.
