Discernment

Proverbs 23:6–7 (NKJV)

“Do not eat the bread of a miser,

Nor desire his delicacies;

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.‘Eat and drink!’ he says to you,

But his heart is not with you.”

This passage warns about a person who speaks kindly on the outside.

“Come, eat and drink with me…”

but their heart is not sincere.

They offer hospitality, but their motives are selfish, manipulative, or resentful.Their outward actions do not match their inner attitude.

Key Lessons

1. Discernment is necessary.

Not everyone who invites you close has pure intentions.

2. Words can be deceptive.

God sees the heart; humans see the face.

3. Guard your spirit.

Do not depend on fake generosity or insincere friendships.

“As he thinks in his heart, so is he.”

A person’s true self is revealed in their internal thoughts, not their external gestures.
