Bible Commentary

Proverbs 11:8

God's providential care for the righteous means He extracts them from danger and distress. In a striking twist, the wicked end up in the very trouble from which the righteous were rescued — their own schemes often become their prison.

Memory phrase: God delivers the righteous.

Talk about it: Can you remember a time God helped you out of a hard situation?

Prayer: God, thank You for delivering me from trouble.
