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.
