“He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.  He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.”  (Proverbs 2:7, NLT)

Have you ever taken a short-cut only to discover — late — that it cost you more time, more money, and more energy than the “long way ’round” would have?

Have you thought that doing the right thing because it is the right thing requires too much “exposure” to less scrupulous people, who might take advantage?

In these circumstances, God’s word tells us that the path of honesty is the correct path — always; and that God is a shield to all persons of integrity.

Today, make honesty and integrity in all things your non-negotiable objective.   – Luther

“The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.” (Proverbs 14:11, NIV)

Generally speaking, houses are more secure than tents.  However, most of us would choose a tent erected with integrity over a house marked for destruction.

A house (e. g. life) built on deceit, corrupted morals, or other deficiencies — no matter how grand the house may appear to observers — is destined for destruction.  It is far better to dwell in a humble tent with the assurance of God’s protection, than in any house of wickedness.

As disciples of Jesus, we must keep an eternal perspective; even as the rest of the world looks only at tomorrow, or at outward appearances.  If we forgo the fruits of evil, we shall certainly instead receive the rewards of a clear conscience, a good reputation, and the favor of our heavenly Father.  – Luther
