Proverbs 18:23
Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.
This proverb observes a real and troubling pattern: those with less power must approach carefully, humbly, with requests; those with power can afford to be curt, dismissive, and rough. It is not a command but an indictment — and an implicit call to notice and resist this dynamic. God especially hears the intreaties of the weak.
Memory phrase: Be gentle with the weak.
Talk about it: How should we treat people who have less power than us?
Prayer: God, help me be kind to those with less than me.
