From my morning devotion:
Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
also:
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
God doesn't think much of fools or their folly. He wants everyone to gain greater wisdom and give up their ways.
2 Peter 2:20-22 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
The ultimate folly is a backslider. One that once they have been washed white by the blood to wallow in the mire of their sin.
Lord, give us wisdom. Help us to see the pitfalls ahead. Keep us on the straight and narrow path. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
