Title: Don’t Play Favorites

Scriptures: Proverbs 28:21

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus! Proverbs 28:21 says...

Playing favorites is always a bad thing; you can do great harm in seemingly harmless ways.

How many times have we favored someone just because he/she is family or friend?  I know I am guilty of this.  But God reminds us that to play favorites is always a bad thing, it's doing harm in seemingly harmless ways.  This is so true because oftentimes, we don't feel we are being harmful when we give favor to somoene, in fact, at times, we feel that we did a good thing or one that is harmless.  But God tells us that although it seems harmless, it actually does great harm to many.  To the one being favored, he/she learns dependency or worst laziness.  To the one who was not favored, he/she can learn anger, bitterness, or worst hatred.  Although, it's the person's own choice as to how to respond or react to a certain situation...you can't deny the fact that the person who plays favorites has a role in all of this.  Would you want to be the rock that others stumble on?  So stop playing favorites!  Be fair!

Happy Monday!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a wonderful lesson today.  Thank You for opening my eyes to the truth and helping me realize to be fair and correct my ways of playing favorites to those I like.  Help me Lord to show fairness and not to become a stumbling block to others.  Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just at all times.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
