"Speak not in the ears of a fool for he will despise the wisdom of thy words." Prov 23:9

A fool is incapable of understanding the 'pearls' of Gods wisdom.

Well, I know there are many questions to ask but my first one is, "What are considered pearls?"

Pearls are hidden in something ordinary but are of great value. They are formed from irritations; the longer the irritation, the more the pearl is perfected and treasured when discovered. They are very rare, fine, admirable, and valuable objects. Pearls are formed two different ways- in the wild or man made. You are able to tell the difference between a fake pearl and a real pearl just by the unique luster of a real pearl. Each pearls luster varies due to the reflection, refraction, and diffraction of LIGHT. Are we not to do the same for Jesus? We are do reflect His LIGHT into the world through our lives. (just thought was something extra cool there :) How a pearl is formed is a lot like how we are perfected through trials. The mollusks defense mechanism to a potentially threatening irritant, such as a parasite inside its shell is the process of secreting calcium carbonate and conchiol. It seals off the irritant and the process is repeated-producing a pearl. It must give of its self in order to produce the secretion, I found that interesting. Pearls can be found in many shells, but not all of them are of value. In fact, some pearls are considered to have little to no value at all. Why? Because of the way they are found at the end of the process of making them. Just like those pearls, we can be that way too. Each person is going to be different in the way they respond to a trial. Some will come out shining and their testimony will be of great value. Others will not see why they had to go through the hard times and when the trial is completed they will not be able to be seen as someone that has been reviled and has come through for the better.
