Proverbs 15

Proverbs 15:7
The lips of the wise spread knowledge,
But the hearts of fools are not so.
This verse has very interesting timing.  Earlier this afternoon, I got a message from a less-fortunate person, who I've helped in emergencies with rides and occasional money.  She wanted me to bring her a Dr. Pepper when I got off work.

I've told her before that I am not her personal chauffeur or piggy bank.  So I immediately wanted to respond with a harsh "no," and explain again that I would not be an enabler for her poor behavior.  However, I knew that would cause a harsh reaction, so for now, the best I've been able to do is stay silent.  I pray that if a response becomes required, God will give me the correct words or knowledge.
