Don't Attend
Proverbs 26:4, "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him." This verse advises us not to engage in foolish arguments or respond to a fool in a manner that mirrors their foolishness.
In our lives, we often encounter situations where we are tempted to respond to foolishness with our own words or actions. However, the book of Proverbs offers us a timeless piece of wisdom in chapter 26, verse 4 - "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him." This verse encourages us to exercise discernment and restraint when faced with foolishness, reminding us that responding in kind only draws us into the same folly.
As followers of Christ, we are called to embody wisdom and grace in our interactions with others, even when faced with ignorance or foolishness. Refraining from responding to a fool according to their folly does not mean we remain silent in the face of injustice or untruth, but rather that we choose our words and actions carefully, guided by the wisdom of God.
C.H. Spurgeon, the renowned preacher, once reflected on this verse, saying, "It is not needful that we should always answer a fool according to his folly, for he will despise our words; but it is well that we should never answer him in his own way, for that would be to become like him."
Let us take Spurgeon's words to heart and remember that our responses to folly should be rooted in wisdom and grace, reflecting the character of our Lord. Instead of being drawn into fruitless arguments or responding with harsh words, let us seek God's guidance in how we engage with those who exhibit foolishness, always striving to emulate the wisdom and love of Christ in our interactions.
May we find strength in God's wisdom to respond with grace and discernment, embodying the truth of Proverbs 26:4 in our daily lives.
