“Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death.” Proverbs 10:2
God’s economy works differently. Though the world’s financial systems may seem to benefit from “profit at any cost” God looks at our hearts and wants to change them to be more like Himself, regardless of what profit we make on this earth. In this process, a righteous heart will save us from death.
Lord, help me to be honest in all I do, even simply to make You proud. Strengthen me when it seems that doing a little wrong will benefit me, and help me to trust that your ways are the most profitable to my life, in Jesus’ Name, amen.
