Proverbs: Honestly Earned

article by Amanda Stiver, Mario Seiglie

Wisdom that sticks with you - straight from God's Word.

“It is better to have a little, honestly earned, than to have a large income, dishonestly gained,” (Proverbs 16:8, GNB).

As the saying goes: The best pillow to sleep on is a good conscience. The dishonest are always worried about being found out and then punished.

How often, during the recent years of economic turmoil have we heard about people taking advantage of others to make a dollar? Phone scams, Internet scams, ponzi schemes, stolen credit card numbers... the list goes on. 

True wealth comes from God's blessing and obeying His commandments, and it isn't always measured in money.

The question is: What do you value the most?
