Proverbs 3:27

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do so.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

This is an interesting exhortation. Why would anyone ever want to withhold good to those to whom it is due. Jealousy perhaps?--or greediness?--not wanting to share, even when it is in the power of your hand to give? Let us guard against these evils!

God Bless You!
