What is folly?
Basically it's when we choose to do things the way we want. It's as if we say "I know what's best for my life."
Look at Proverbs 3:5-12. The Message version says:
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He's th eone who will keep you on track. Don't assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline; don't sulk under His loving correction. It's the child He loves that God corrects; a Father's delight is behind all this."
As we dive in to where our folly lies, consider that He is a loving Father.
Lauren asks us to be willing to be humbled by seeing the places where we've been foolish. She encourages us that we are not alone and that when our folly is exposed, it's the first step in getting healthy.
When our foolishness and folly is exposed, we will also receive the steadfast love of the Lord that is everlasting.
