Large Opal

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back later; I’ll give it tomorrow� — when you now have it with you.
Proverbs 3:27-28

One of those times where even if it means actually getting out of bed you really should do it. Or may favorite “I think I have an extra one at home, let me go get it for you,” when I could have just given them the one on me. In the end, it saves times and just makes you feel good when you help someone. It’s almost the pay it forward idea, only not expecting them to do anything of the sort in any way.

Interestingly it says do not hold good. That somewhat implies that you should withhold bad from those that deserve it, for God shall punish and judge them, not man.

Hide it Under an Oil Tanker!

Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.
Proverbs 3:25-26

The funny thing is, this should have probably been the warning last night, but today works just as well. Don’t worry about all those nasty orcses that may come your way in the future. If they come, it’s because they were supposed to. Keep thy confidence the Lord and He will slay all those nasty things that come your way (even Dragonkin). That same theme is echoed earlier in the chapter. Just trust in God, you can’t really go wrong.
