Today: [Proverbs 27] Avoiding Boastfulness, Betrayal and Judgmentalism. In this chapter Solomon warns about forward thinking planning in our lives that does not take into consideration the uncertainty of life. Even in a good thing there will always be unexpected eventualities that defy all our attempts to control what happens next in our life. Solomon warns against this and points us in a more wholesome direction for the expenditure of our energies. Also in this chapter we find admonitions against being a fair whether friend or of placing false expectations on family members or close friends who will often disappoint us in life. There is also in our chapter a lesson in judging others when in fact the matter in which we correct our brother often exists in our own lives.
