Wasted words

Proverbs 23:9  “Do not speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words.” When you or I are in the presence of a wise faith filled person we become wiser by carefully listening and absorbing what is being spoken.  Many, however, not realizing the benefit of the words being spoken, listen as just another opinion or philosophy to be discarded at will.  Eventually the opportunity for learning will be no more and the foolish will only remain foolish.
