Watch Out!

Week 9: Helping Others

Do not give the benefit of your doubts to the one who wants to bend or break the rules.
Proverbs 1: 10

The worst thing you can do for people is reward them when they do the wrong thing. This is why we were taught you don’t get anything by grumbling or complaining. You don’t get good things when you’ve done bad things. Ill-gotten gain will eventually become ill-gotten pain.

What kind of behavior do you reward? Are you behaving so as to be rewarded? Rewards are a good thing. They help us catch a lot of bad things and put them in their place. And, they encourage us to keep on doing the good. List what behaviors you reward. What bad behaviors have outlived their benefit and need to be put down?
