Donkey

Proverbs 26:2-5 – Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools! Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.

Psalm 32:9 – Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.

Application:

• ·         God’s servants must be wiser than beasts, more open to God’s will than horses and mules are to the will of their masters.
• ·         Do not stoop to a fool’s level.
• ·         Sometimes folly must be plainly exposed and denounced.
