"Better be poor,
and honest
than rich
and dishonest.."
~ Proverbs 19:1 LAB
*
Bible Commentary: "Honesty is far more valuable than wealth, but most people don't act as if they believe this. They are so afraid of being short of money that they will pay any price to have more---cheating on their taxes, stealing from stores or employers, withholding tithes, refusing to give. But when we know and love God, we realize that honesty is a greater treasure than money in the bank. A lower standard of living---or even poverty---is a small price to pay for personal integrity. Do our actions show that we value integrity more than wealth? What changes do we need to make in order to get our priorities straight?"
