Scripture: Proverbs 25:19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
Nugget: The only way to not have unfaithful people around you during times of trouble, is to choose not to have them around you period. You can’t say, “I know this person isn’t trustworthy, but we are not so close” or “I just need them for xyz but won’t bring them so close” or “we just do business together and that’s it”. Yeah, whatever. If you keep such jokers around you during the good times – you will have only yourself to blame when in times of trouble you have a “broken tooth and a foot out of joint”. Nothing is inconsequential. We like to think that. But our outcomes, our current situations (miracles or tragedies; happiness or sadness) are merely outcomes of a series of “little inconsequential” decisions.
