He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

Brianna vs27's Proverbs Chapter 28 comment on 2/01/2020, 6:53am...

I love looking at scriptures that gives us insight into the personality of our God. Jehovah God encourages us to be generous as he is generous with us. In Satan's system, some people have a lot and some people have not enough. However, if those who have, give generously to those who are "poor" then, it brings out that our repayment comes from God himself and he will not allow us to lack anything. The best repayment comes from God who can gives us anything we desire according to his will. So, this motivates me to be generous as my circumstances allow. I can't support everyone, but I can try to be more generous with my time, energy, and even finances as God allows it.
