1ST QUARTER: PROVERBS - LESSON 2 TUESDAY: PROTECT YOUR FRIENDSHIP (PROV 6:1-5) The book of Proverbs counsels us on how to keep our friends and also, if necessary, how to protect ourselves from them. That is Biblical wisdom values human relationships and appeals for thoughtfulness and respect in these relationships. For this reason wisdom warns us against inconsiderate financial backing for a friend who is in debt. The duty of charity does not exclude the duty of justice. No matter how well-intentioned you might have been, it’s crucial to think before you act and commit to something that you can’t fulfill. Therefore if you have promised a friend knowing that you cant fulfil just humble yourself, accept your mistakes and apologys to your friend. How do we learn to balance our desire to bear one another’s burdens with the words given to us in this proverb?
