Pro 11:26 | MHM | STEP | The Duty of Sharing God’s Gifts This section teaches us how to use the blessings God gives us. We should not keep everything for ourselves or try to make extra profit when others are in need. Instead, we should be willing to help others, especially when times are hard.

For example, if someone has a lot of grain when food is scarce, it is wrong to keep it back hoping the price will go up. Instead, they should sell it at a fair price and help keep food affordable for everyone. This is a true act of charity. We should care about the prayers and good wishes of our neighbors, not just our own profit. It is better to have their blessing than to risk their anger.
