• {v.24-25} It is the divine plan for increase and enlargement. Like the Egyptian farmer who scatters his seed upon the retreating waters of the Nile, to reap a rich harvest “after many days,” so the one who is in touch with the philanthropy of the heart of God will find true increase later by scattering now; while he who greedily seeks to keep all for himself will find his course has led to utter ruin. (“Proverbs Eleven” by H.A. Ironside)
• The Philippian assembly had tasted of the joy of thus ministering to the Lord (Phil. 4:10-19). In Nabal of old we learn the folly of greed and self-occupation (1 Sam. 25:10, 11, 38). (“Proverbs Eleven” by H.A. Ironside)
