Day 26, so Proverbs 26.
Verse Underlined
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.
The Pit That Comes Back
Proverbs 26 · 27 · NIV
Reflection
Evil planned against another doesn't disappear — it comes back. The pit you dig, you may end up living in yourself. The stone you push toward someone rolls back on you.
Solomon describes a law as constant as gravity. The victim digs pits and blames the ground when they fall. The self-responsible person recognizes: every pit I dig is a risk I take on myself.
Today's challenge
Stop Before You Dig Deep
Is there some “pit” you're digging? Stop before you dig deep.The law of return is already at work.
The Christ-Centered Connection
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Galatians 6 · 7
Haman built gallows for Mordecai — and was hanged on them. The law of return isn't a threat — it's the structure of reality that God created.
Proverbs 26:27 · Galatians 6:7 · Esther 7:10 · Matthew 7:2
