Commentary on Proverbs 3:28

Theological / Devotional

Go, and come again. With many it is customary to put off the one who is seeking help. Whether it is the payment of a debt or the giving of a donation, some men seem to take delight in forcing the recipient to return again and again before the sum is finally paid. The motive for the delay may be merely to make themselves appear important, or to demonstrate their power over others. Solomon points out that such conduct is unbecoming to a servant of God. It shows a lack of the unselfish love of God in the heart. Without such love, none can claim to be a true follower of Christ.
