On Chapter 11
v28 He who trusts in his riches will fall,
But the righteous will flourish like the green leaf.
I do not believe that there is any amount of money that can be trusted. I've seen my bank account go from what I thought would last for a month, to hoping payday would get here tomorrow. Although I've never been rich (in my own view), I know that the largest nest egg can be cracked and brought to ruin. God, on the other hand, can be trusted!
Pro 11: This chapter starts with truth as a vital precept: a false balance versus a just weight. So much that follows in this chapter, flows from a firm grasp on God’s truth: humility, truthful speech, integrity, righteous behavior..., all of which have great benefits.
