Who wants to be simple?

Mo. 6/16/14: Proverbs 14:12 – 15                  What confuses the simple?
      There is a way that seems right to a man,
      But its end is the way of death.
      The simple believes every word,
      But the prudent considers well his steps.
What confuses the simple? Believing anyone confuses the simple.
Tu. 6/17/14: Proverbs 14:17 – 18                  What do the simple inherit?
      A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
      And a man of wicked intentions is hated.
      The simple inherit folly,
      But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
What do the simple inherit? The simple inherit folly.
We. 6/18/14: Psalm 19:7,10                  How can the simple change?
      The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
      The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
      More to be desired are they than gold,
      Yea, than much fine gold;
      Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
How can the simple change? The Law makes wise the simple.
Th. 6/19/14: Psalm 119:129 – 130                  How can the simple improve?
      Your testimonies are wonderful;
      Therefore my soul keeps them.
      The entrance of Your words gives light;
      It gives understanding to the simple.
How can the simple improve? Reading the Word gives understanding.
Fr. 6/20/14: Rom. 16:19 – 20                  What should we be simple towards?
For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
What should we be simple towards? We should be simple about evil.
