Dear Grands,

Prov. 22:21-27, “To make you know the certainty of the words of truth that you may correctly answer him who sent you.
22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate;
23 For the LORD will plead their case and take the life of those who rob them.
24 Do not associate with a man given to anger; or go with a hot-tempered man,
25 Or you will learn his ways and find a snare for yourself.
26 Do not be among those who give pledges, among those who become guarantors for debts.
27 If you have nothing with which to pay, why should he take your bed from under you?
28 Do not move the ancient boundary which your fathers have set.”

If you’ve ever encountered someone who believed (or said he believed) that the Holy Bible was just an impracticable old book, you need to read him the few verses above.

Quite honestly, it seems close to ridiculous that anyone would “rob the poor when he is poor.” But, there are some truly ridiculous people in our world today. We have to be spiritually and practically ready before we encounter them.

Be careful, too, about associating with those who are “hot-tempered” and “given to anger.” It’s easier than you think to become like them! Moreover, you will not be long in learning that you yourself have been “trapped” into becoming like them. It’s not easy to escape the net.

Yes, there are those who give pledges for the help they receive. At the time, they appear competent and honest to meet their monetary responsibility. Yet, time will reveal that the “promise” was weak, and you may have lost it all.

The Bible is quite practical in its exposures!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,
