Reading:
Proverbs 28:20-28

Have you ever wondered what you would sell out for?

Or for what you would sell out someone else?

I have wondered that about myself…just not often enough.

Here’s what I mean:

“To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress” (21).

Bias and favoritism will lead to selling out for a bit of nothing.

I don’t fear them enough.

It’s too easy to hold certain “special to me” people to an easier standard.

That is not good.

And will lead to no good.

[He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack (Proverbs 28:27)]
from Proverbs 28:27

Reading:
Proverbs 28:10-19

What does this verse mean?

“The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes” (13).

I don’t think I know.

But I like the idea it gives me.

No matter how needy and no matter the nature of the need, God can bring light to darkness.

There is yet darkness in my soul that must be driven out by God’s light.

This verse gives hope a boost and courage a lift!

[He that keepeth the law, happy is he (Proverbs 28:18)]
