to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. (Proverbs 22:1)
We all know people who have sold their reputations in order to make more money. The temptation for fame and riches has caused many to go down in flames. The sad truth is that once we have marred our reputation, and our personal stock goes down, it can take a long time to build it back. Broken trust is difficult to regain.
Instead of trying to get rich, let's seek to live a consistent, godly life. The riches this world has to offer will only last a little while... and many have lost it as quickly as they gained it... but a lifestyle that is a consistent witness for Jesus Christ pays dividends for all eternity.
