Lessons for Daily Life

Good morning everyone!! How are you today? God is good all the time, all the time God is good!! Let's look at Proverbs 6.

Proverbs 6:1-5 "My child, if you have put up security for a friend's debt or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger- if you have trapped yourself by your agreement and are caught by what you said - follow my advice and save yourself, for you have placed yourself at your friend's mercy. Now swallow your pride; go and beg to have your name erased. Don't put it off, do it now! Don't rest until you do. Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter, like a bird fleeing from a net."


These verses are not a plea against generosity, but against overesxtending one's financial resources and acting in irresponsible ways that could lead to poverty.

It is important to maintain a balance between generosity and good stewardship. God wants us to help our friends and the needy, but he does not promise to cover the costs of every unwise commitment we make. We should also act responsibly so that our families do not suffer.

Often it is hard not to help family or close friends. God wants us all to be a great example for Him, showing a kind, loving and giving spirit. God also wants us to have wisdom and knowledge. The wisdom to know when to assist and the knowledge to make wise decisions. Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
