A man is praised according to his wisdom, but men with warped minds are despised. Proverbs 12:8
This is another one of those verses that doesn’t always seem like it’s played out in real life. In fact, the opposite seems to be true about the second half. Those who are deviant get the praise for their perversity and deviance. Some of our “modern” art reflects those values.
But in a “perfect world,” those men would be laughed at and ridiculed and the wise would be esteemed. That day is not here, nor will it ever be until Christ returns. In the mean time, we can pray that our minds and souls do not get soak in the perverseness.
Instead, Scriptures encourages us to “above all else, guard your hearts for it is the wellspring of Life.” Proverbs 4:23
