Do Not Let Wisdom And Understanding Out Of Your Sight

My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”— when you already have it with you. Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you. Do not accuse anyone for no reason—when they have done you no harm.

Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.

Proverbs 3:21-31

We should help other people, whenever we can. Whatever “power” we have should not just be used for us. It should be used to help others. We should have a willingness to help.

We may not always feel adequate for the task at hand, and often we feel paralyzed by thinking we do not have the skills, experience, resources, or time to help others.

Bring your resources to the table for those in need.

God provides for His people through His people.
