Proverbs 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
We see in these four verses 8 classes of people. One group, the proud, the fool, the miser, and the wicked all will fail at what they try to accomplish. The proud stirs up trouble, the fool believes only he is right, the miser never helps anyone but himself, and we know the wicked cause fear in people. The other group, the humble, the wise, the liberal, and the righteous, these God will bless. The humble have complete trust in God, the wise know how to make the right choices, the liberal is not only blessed but knows how to bless those in need, and the righteous in the end receive the greatest reward and increase in strength. As Christians we should strive to exhibit these last four characteristics everyday in our life and be in constant pray for those we know who exhibit those first four characteristics.
