“If you rebuke a mocker, you will only get a smart retort; yes, he will snarl at you. So don’t bother with him; he will only hate you for trying to help him. But a wise man, when he is rebuked, will love you all the more.” Proverbs 9:7-8 (The Living Bible)
We need wisdom and discernment when dealing with the hearts of people. A mocker has a heart issue of disrespect and is twisted on the inside. No matter what you do for him his ingratitude will show, so to not bother with him and let him go his way is wise. Dealing with wise people is easy. In them is humility and openness.
Dear Lord….give me the right heart. May I never be a mocker and may I have wisdom when I have to deal with one…Amen and Amen!!
