Strong Knowledge 

10 

Don’t cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers;
     don’t take the land of defenseless orphans.

11 

For their Redeemer is strong;
     he himself will bring their charges against you.

12 

Commit yourself to instruction;
     listen carefully to words of knowledge.

We’ve come across the first proverb before: Don’t move the boundary marker. God expects us to act with integrity, doing the right thing even when no one is watching.

We’ve also seen Verse 11, which reminds us that God is the protector of orphans, widows, and the powerless. Don’t try to take advantage of them.

Verse 12 encourages us to seek instruction and knowledge. But when we study, we need to discern whether the knowledge aligns with God’s wisdom or the world’s knowledge.

Think about this: Many people believe the saying “The Lord helps those who help themselves” is in the Bible. It’s not! While Proverbs teaches that God expects us to work and not be lazy, the main message of the Bible is that God helps those who cannot help themselves—like the poor, widows, immigrants, and orphans. If God loves the helpless, so should we. Have you done anything to help the powerless in the last month?
