From
Proverbs 15 this morning - "Al necio le divierte su falta de
juicio..." translated - "the fool enjoys his lack of
judgment."
The NIV reads this way, "Folly delights a man
who lacks judgment." Taking pleasure in unrighteousness rather
than receiving the love of the truth is the basis of God's righteous
judgment. This is the condemnation, that men loved darkness more than
light because their deeds were evil.
Everyone practicing evil hates
the light and does not come towards the light in order that his deeds
will not be reproved (exposed as evil). Those who enjoy their lack of
judgment are in danger of God sending them a strong delusion in order
to cause them to believe the lies they are enjoying.
God disciplines
those He loves and scourges everyone He receives as a son. God
witholds discipline from those who despise correction because of
their enjoyment of their own lack of judgment.
Fools hate wisdom and
discipline. Woe to those who enjoy what God abhors, who call evil
good and good evil, and call darkness light and light darkness.
Jesus
was annointed with the oil of joy above His companions because He
loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. The fear of the Lord is to
hate evil; the deception of fools is their enjoyment of evil.
Wise
men take pleasure in the things pleasing to God, fools enjoy whatever
is pleasing to themselves and are not interested in God's concerns.
