The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion. I know that wherever evil is, it will not even put up a fight once confronted with God's true goodness. On the other hand, God's forces can never surrender. Amen
I have taken that to be wisdom especially when we think to highly of someone & they fall into sin. Putting too much trust in man, woman, their position or title, for example. This was advice maybe through experience.
Proverbs 6:30, Proverbs 6:23-26,
Hopefully these scriptures are also helpful in reference
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.
New century version of proverbs 28:21 says it is not good for a judge to take sides or show special favoritism , but some will sin for only a piece of bread...
YOU CAN NOT HIDE YOUR SIN FROM THE LORD. HE KNOWS WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE INSIDE AND OUT. WE CAN HIDE WHO WE REALLY ARE FROM OTHER PEOPLE AND PRETEND TO HAVE A REAL SALVATION BUT, NOT THE LORD. THIS SIMPLY MEANS STOP PRETENDING TO BE CHRISTIAN AND GET REAL WITH IT. SADLY MOST SELF PROFESSED OR SO CALLED CHRISTIANS ARE PRETENDING AND JUST PLAYING CHURCH. HOPE THIS HELPS.
Will; When we are convicted of sin; if we are honest and pay attention to our conscience, if we fear God and are sorry for our sins and repent of them; then the Lord will have mercy and cleanse us from all our sins, and give us a new chance at life. But if we harden our hearts and callous over our conscience toward God, and ignore the warnings and conviction, then there is no forgiveness of sins.
"Whoso walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough." Walking and working like a man made in the image of God and after God's own heart, doesn't allow deviation from what is right and good; but cultivates and works to produce by God's Word.
"Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things." Jesus said that He has many things to say to us, but that we cannot bear them just yet; that is, until we receive the Holy Spirit, who shall show us all things and guide us into all truth. The only one who wants men to stay stupid and uncapable, is the devil, who lusts after the throne of God, and to kill us.
"A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent." v20. I love this verse because it motivates God's children to be faithful. Secondly, it's an advice to especially young people not to be hasty to be rich. Anyone who makes money hastily would have to cut corners.
Frances; You misread it! The Scripture reads: "To have respect OF persons (not, 'for' persons) is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress." Respect of persons means you favor one over another; respect for persons means you treat them with dignity. James chapter 2 shows very well what "respect of persons" means; and further likens it to murder to despise and mistreat the poor.
If we abide God and his words in our life we have everything we need. We need the Holy Spirit to connect with our Spirit . By the power of the Holy Spirit, his WORDS and his PEACE it passes all UNDERSTANDING. We have God's favour and mercy to enlighten other people's lives. Thank you Jesus for the blood . Teach me to humble myself before you Lord help me to be born again in spirit in my life AMN
To be bold is not what we think : To be bold is to be strong in God's word in the face of adversity : Not to be bold in the face of people that are our apponet : But to do as God leads , If we are in unbelief we will flee as the wicked !!
V1, is one of my favorite verses in the Bible, i do not have to fear, because i know that I am doing that which is right in the eyes of God and man, and my conscience is clear, I can then be bold as a lion and make my stand for that which is right.

Proverbs 6:30, Proverbs 6:23-26,
Hopefully these scriptures are also helpful in reference
Genesis 25:34, Hebrews 12:16, 1Samuel 25:10-38,
It is also commanded
Leviticus 19:15, Proverbs 24:23, James 1:1-10, Colossians 3:25, Ephesians 6:9, Job 32:21, 2 Chronicles 19:7, Deuteronomy 16:19,
Example Luke 20:21, Matthew 22:16, even when trying to trap Jesus they testified that HE wasn't a "respecter of persons"
Jesus was tested by this Luke 4:2-4,
Is it also coincidence that it was a piece of bread that was given before betrayal by Jesus? John 13:18,21-27, John 6:33,
Can we break this scripture down some? What exactly is it saying?
person must give cheerfully. Blessings.
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.?
