I've thought a lot about this verse the past couple of days. Truett Cathy spoke of it as one of, if not the, favorite verse of his life. His walk matched his talk.
I'd like all of us to think about it and see if our pursuits, our priorities, and our purpose reflect its truth -
Proverbs 22:1 - A good name is rather to be desired than great riches; favor is better than silver or gold.
Would I rather have good character or great riches? This verse suggests that we have to choose the pursuit of one or the other.
I think that if one desires great riches, a good name will not be a priority. However, if one's priority is earning a good name, if one's purpose is the grace of receiving God's favor, then great riches won't matter.
That's all for today.
Amen.
