Proverbs 22:
22 Do not rob the poor, because he is poor,
or crush the afflicted at the gate,
23 for the Lord will plead their cause
and rob of life those who rob them.
24 Make no friendship with a man given to anger,
nor go with a wrathful man,
25 lest you learn his ways
and entangle yourself in a snare.
26 Be not one of those who give pledges,
who put up security for debts.
27 If you have nothing with which to pay,
why should your bed be taken from under you?
Don't take from the poor because they are an easy target. Don't hang with the angry crowd, because you're the one who will get caught in it. Don't live life today paid by tomorrow, or you'll lose it all. It all sounds easy, till you find that your lifestyle is lived on the backs of the poor, you find yourself yelling at your phone or laptop because you disagree with a post, and you find you have justified some want as a need and experience buyer's remorse. We all fall into the traps. The good news is God allows us to learn and grow from our foolishness. May we learn and see He was right all along and call out to Him for the change we need.
