Friday!

Proverbs!

One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion 

Gathers it for him who will pity the poor.

Proverbs 28:8 NKJV

Mmm is this the way the world works?

Do those who charge interest, those who extort money from others, those with power, do they just give away that wealth to others who need it?

Sometimes maybe. 

But there's another player lurking in this proverb, someone who sees the poor, someone who's heart is for them, and all the power of this world won't stop Him from bringing justice for those without power. 

There's another story in play here, a bigger story. 

A story that the person charging exorbitant interest, the one extracting wealth from others cannot see, because they are under the illusion that once you get wealth it's yours. 

Forever.

How we exercise power is important.

How we see others matters.

How we stand here, matters. 

Because there is a bigger story...
