Wealth of Righteousness

For Tuesday, March 14, 2006
Proverbs 16:8

Better is a little with righteousness
than great revenues with injustice.

This is proverb that everyone honors but few actually live by. But consider the wealth of righteousness.

There is the wealth of a good conscious before the Lord, which brings great peace.

There is the wealth of a good name and peaceful relations with one's neighbors.

There is the wealth of enjoying truly what one possesses.

There is the wealth of knowing and valuing what is of true value.

There is the wealth of time well spent.

There is the wealth of no regret.

There is the wealth of receiving the inheritance of everlasting life with the Lord.

Not a bad deal!
