Some people wonder why their children are such liars. If they'd look into a mirror, they'd probably see the reason. - D.L. Moody
Proverbs 22:1, A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
An honest reputation is something that can be achieved before man but what is even greater is to be honest before God. You see, like Job, we should strive to have characteristics of our Lord and Saviour. What did the Lord say about Job; “…that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?”
What made Job an honest man? His relationship with the Lord! His reverence toward God! His hatred of evil! How about your walk with the Lord?
