										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">People! You just can’t imagine what they will think of or do next.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“What’s got you all gussied up today?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Oh, I don’t know. It’s just that when you try to help, many people take offense at the offer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“Someone give you a hard time?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">No. I’m thinking about someone else who received a number of offers of care and assistance in the very best of attitudes who was soundly rebuffed. I wasn’t personally involved.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“Happens.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Yeah. Particularly when you stiff-arm people because of some sin in your life that you don’t want to give up.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“How did it turn out? Do you know?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It’s too fresh to say; but I can guarantee that in the long run it will turn out bad for the one who is nurturing the sin and keeping others away, if there is no change.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“How do you know that?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Because it’s wise counsel from the Word that’s being rejected and Proverbs has something to say about that. Wisdom says,</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">You ignored all my counsel, and didn’t want my rebuke . . .<br />
I’ll mock you when your terrifying fear comes.<br />
Proverbs 1:25-27</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can’t ignore God’s wisdom with impunity.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“What are you doing about it?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Since the party involved will not listen to anyone, all I can do is pray.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“Yeah.”</p>
