Scripture Meditation No. 1654

"A scorner
seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that
understandeth." (Proverbs 14:6, KJV)
Scorners are those who mock
others, making fun of what people say or do, treating everything lightly like
jesters. Sadly, our world has many such scorners, and crowds enjoy their jokes
and ridicules. Society often celebrates them as “kings of comedy.” But God does
not delight in such behavior. In fact, He does not want His people to sit in
fellowship with them.
The very first Psalm reminds
us: “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.”
(Psalm 1:1, KJV). Why? Because a scorner never takes anything seriously; they
do not engage in deep, meaningful pursuit of truth. That is why today’s verse
says, “A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not.”
I once read reasons why some
people become scorners: to hide their own faults, due to lack of respect for
others, jealousy over others’ success, disappointments in life, lack of
self-worth, or deep inferiority complexes. These usually shape the character of
scorners.
I remember a Christian
friend who always filled his surroundings with laughter and jokes. Several
times, I personally shared with him about the Lord Jesus Christ and the
experience of salvation. But each time, he would turn my words into jokes and
laugh them off. Unexpectedly, he fell ill and passed away quickly. Sadly, his
life ended without truly knowing God—his mocking nature kept him blind to the
truth until the very end.
Scripture further says that
while a scorner cannot gain wisdom, “knowledge is easy unto him that
understandeth.” A man with a wise and humble heart will always gain
knowledge.
Apostle Peter also warned
about scoffers in relation to the second coming of Christ: “Knowing this
first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own
lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers
fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the
creation.” (2 Peter 3:3–4, KJV). Sadly, it is not only unbelievers, but
even many Christians today who make light of Christ’s second coming.
Jude too speaks about such
people: “How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time,
who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate
themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.” (Jude 1:18–19, KJV).
Dear beloved, if we find any
mocking or scornful nature within us, let us ask God to change us. Let us think
wisely and treat others with respect. Only then will we truly come to know God
in our lives.
