Title: To Outwit or Outsmart Someone is to lead Yourself into Your ruin

Scriptures: Proverbs 22:16

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus!  Today, we will talk about being wise or prudent.  Many poeple thinks that when they outwit someone, they are wise.  They feel that when they fooled someone or they outsmarted someone, they feel this sense of pride that they are able to outplay or trick someone else.  But in verse 16 of Proverbs 22, God says, "Exploit the poor or glad-hand the rich—whichever, you’ll end up the poorer for it." So you may feel this sense of pride for what you did because you outsmarted someone else, in the end, God says you will still end up the poorer for it.  Know that to outwit, outsmart or trick someone is never a wise thing to do - in fact it is a foolish thing to do as you are only leading yourself to your ruin.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a wonderful lesson today.  Help me Lord to always remember that there is no pride or joy in outsmarting someone else.  It is never a smart move for anyone to play tricks on others.  Instead we ought to be sincere, honest and righteouse when we treat others.  Give me the control and wisdom to do this Lord that my mindset is directed to what is pure and noble in You.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Exploit the poor or glad-hand the rich - whichever, you'll end up the poorer for it.

Many people thinks that when they outwit someone, they are wise.  They feel that when they fooled someone or they outsmarted someone, they feel this sense of pride that they are able to outplay or trick someone else. But today, God tells us that when we do so, we are only leading ourselves to our ruin.
