"For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield."
(Psalms 5:12)
What
does honesty have to do with blessing? Plenty. Righteousness is like
magnet which always attracts divine favour. When a boy or girl chooses
to walk in a way that will make God happy, then, he or she has taken a
decision that will make the heavenly Father to bless him or her. Ask
David or Daniel, Joseph or Joshua. They will tell you stories of the
decisions that made them take a stand for what they believed. Then God
honoured them by granting them favour to excel far above their
colleagues. Ask Mary or Martha or even Ruth or little Rhoda they too
will tell you that it is good to do good.
We
live in a world that despises righteousness. When someone decides to do
the right thing, he or she will be derided and criticized. This should
not give us the liberty to become dishonest. Just keep doing what God
wants, and He will bless you beyond measure in Jesus' name.
Challenge: Better is a little with righteousness than revenues without right.
Prayer: Help me Lord to make the right choice in all that I do today.
