Day 109 Honestly Right | Proverbs 11:3-4

Honestly Right

3 

Honesty guides good people;
     dishonesty destroys treacherous people.

4 

Riches won’t help on the day of judgment,
     but right living can save you from death.

Verse 3

An honest man is a good man. He loves the truth. His decisions will be right.

Jesus met a man called Nathanael. Jesus said, ‘This man is a genuine member of the nation of Israel. This man is totally honest.’ (John 1:47) Nathanael had the right attitudes, and these attitudes helped him to find Jesus.

An evil man is not honest. He will suffer because of his lies.

Verse 4

A judge in court does not ask whether a man is wealthy. If a man is guilty, then the judge will punish him. The judge does not care whether the guilty man is rich or poor.

God will be the judge of everybody. We have all done evil things, so we all deserve punishment. Our money cannot save us from God’s punishment. We must trust in God. God can forgive us. He will teach us to do the right things.

If individuals are righteous, they strive to follow God's commandments. These directives lead them toward Wisdom, and Wisdom, in turn, illuminates the path of God.

Contrarily, deceitful and perverse individuals disregard God's statutes, and defiance against His laws results in peril and ruin. Material wealth and possessions cannot shield one from the wrath of an enraged individual, for they will seek retribution for any wrongdoing or malice in their fervor. Harmonious and pleasant relationships are built upon righteousness, rather than material abundance.

Regardless of the aspirations of certain scientists, neither wealth nor technology can forestall the inevitability of human mortality.

Reflect upon this: Imagine you unearthed the Holy Grail, and you alone possessed the ability to live indefinitely. Would you desire eternal life if you were the sole recipient of such a gift?
