The Remedy for GreedinessPT1 Proverbs 28:1-12 Rebellion causes a land to have many rulers—but one king can do a better job and ensure peace. Justice and law are utterly at odds with the wicked, and you do battle with the wicked by following and supporting law and justice. It’s better to be poor and honest, than rich and corrupt.Because you cannot see very many righteous men when wicked rulers are in authority does not mean there are not any. They have chosen to hide from, rather than expose themselves to, the risk of persecution and the prevailing political winds. Elijah once thought he was the only righteous man left in Israel under the reign of Ahab and Jezebel, but God assured him that He still had 7000 righteous men there I Kgs 19:18; Rom 11:4.Today’s Word to the Wise: When you give thanks from a grateful heart you bring glory to God and protect your life from covetousness.
