#77: Proverbs 21:6 - Dishonest Gains Don’t Last
Story summary
In this Bible lesson, Greybobby, Red, and Joy decide to start selling a special type of fruit punch, and Bart wants in on the business. Soon, he opens up his own shop selling vouchers for a super special Lupovakian fruit punch... which doesn’t seem to exist. Bart’s scam is quickly exposed, however, and he learns a lesson from Proverbs 21:6, that dishonest gains never last.
Proverbs 21:6
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.
is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.
What did We Learn?
- When people chase after riches through lies, it might seem like they’re winning for a while, but in the end, it all comes crashing down.
- Just like Bart’s cash from his fake frosty drink, dishonest gains don’t last.
- But when we choose to do what’s right, God sees it, and He provides for us in ways we never expect.
