Proverbs 28:6
Better is
the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways,
though he be rich.
This is one
of those ‘better’ verses again. It is
better to be poor and be doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord than to be
rich and being twisted and crooked in our lives. If we find ourselves falling short
financially we should rejoice that we have clean consciences and have not sown
seeds that will come back and get us later.
Not having ‘things’ but having an upright life is incomparable. There is fast approaching a day when having
an upright life will be as rare as a black diamond. The worth of such integrity is far greater
than the most admired trinkets this world has to give. At your funeral, no one will rave over your
finances, but your character will be eulogized.
God says it is better to walk in uprightness and be poor than be rich
and corrupt. Do you believe Him? Then,
my dear sister, live like you do!
