Proverbs 14:20

Proverbs 14:20

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

This is an observation about fallen human nature — not a prescription. People naturally gravitate toward those with power and resources, and desert those who have nothing. God notices this tendency and calls His people to something completely different: love and mercy toward the poor.

Memory phrase: Love the poor too.

Talk about it: Have you ever seen someone left out because they had less than others?

Prayer: God, help me love those who are left out.
