Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:11

This verse commands action on behalf of those in mortal danger. Passive inaction when you have the power to help is itself a moral failure. God calls His people to be active defenders of the vulnerable.

Memory phrase: Help those in danger.

Talk about it: What should you do if you see someone in danger or being hurt?

Prayer: God, help me never look away from someone who needs help.
