What do you consider foolish and what do you consider prudent?

People aren't getting where I am coming from. You can be the most prudent amongst mankind, but what does that compare to the wisdom of GOD. As one responded, you can not thumb your nose up at GOD as if you are more wise or knowledgeable. I am sure that the most religious learned men on this earth knew more than most conjectured without pride. But what is all of that compared to the wisdom and knowledge of GOD? Nothing.

Do you remember that one proverb. The fool is the one who considers himself prudent.

We are all fools in the presence of God. Is it wise? It doesn't matter, it's what we are. Now attitude does play a part in our foolishness. Is our attitude one of - I am but a humble servent to Thee, O Lord, and I know I am nothing without Thee. Or is it, one of arrogance and thinking that we are on the same level as Him?
I think for the most part we straddle the fence, sometimes we are humble and aware of our own nothingness, other times (when we've strayed away from the straight and narrow) we are arrogant and see ourselves as on the same level or (for some) higher than God. But there will come a time when we must choose which side we are on. Will we be a fool FOR God, or will we be a fool, because we are, AGAINST God?

We are all fools in or out of the presence of God, as compared to God. If you want to know what is foolish and what is prudent,
read the living Word of God; proverbs has a wealth of real good common sense, and Remember: Wisdom is very much desired. God says Wisdom was present when he created the universe, his children, etc. Search for wisdom tirelessly.
You'll find that God provides it for sure.

A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness. Proverbs 12:23
The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness. Proverbs 15:2
The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness Proverbs 15:14

Personally I'm with the sequence in The Simpsons where they start playing 'What a fool believes' in the Natural History museum.

It's not wise to be a fool.
It's also not foolish to be wise.
It's not smart to be dumb, and it's not good to be bad.
It's not a good idea to have a bad idea, and it's not wet when it's dry.
I hope this helps. God loves you for who you are. If you are foolish, you are not loved any less.
