Reflections on Proverbs 20:14
Yard sales
Yard sales, garage sales and flea markets are a summer habit for many people. Scripture describes the scene accurately: " `Utterly worthless!' says the buyer as he haggles over the price. But afterwards he brags about his bargain!" (Proverbs 20:14, the Living Bible). That's the game we play, but it is not wise. Don't brag about your bargains because you may have cheated the owner. God hates cheaters.
