Proverbs 25:19
Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble
is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
A person is unfaithful when they exhibit certain patterns. Some of these patterns are; they are consistently late to appointments, do a half-hearted job on tasks given to them or ignore matters that are important to others when they find something else they prefer to do. When we have people like this that we rely upon, it is like having a broken tooth. We are trying to break tasks down and get them done, but this ‘broken tooth’ just causes so much unnecessary pain that the job can’t get done. When we are people like this we cause those who are counting on us to feel like they have a toe or foot out of joint. They are trying to take the next step but the problems and discomfort of this toe causes the journey to be painful and in constant need of nursing along. Seek the Lord for who you are to put your confidence in when delegating a task. Seek the Lord when someone hands responsibility to you. Let us not be that broken tooth or toe out of joint.
