Glory or Shame Wise men make decisions by the Bible, the revealed will of God. Fools make decisions by their feelings, their thoughts, popular opinion, tradition, habits, educators, news anchors, televangelists, and other evil sources. The rule of this proverb is simple: if you live wisely, you will be honored; if you live foolishly, you will be punished in disgrace. Consider two men and their choices regarding women. Joseph resisted seduction by Mrs. Potiphar on the grounds it would displease God: he ended up on Egypt’s throne. Samson pursued the painted faces, offered bodies, and flattery of Philistine whores to please his lusts. He ended up a blind, manual laborer, who committed suicide to end his pain. Proverbs 3:35 (NIV) 35 The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.
