Better But Not Best
Proverbs 28:6
It’s better to be poor and live a blameless life than to be rich but crooked in one’s lifestyle.
Hello brethren, welcome today. From today's scripture, God is not against riches neither is He supporting poverty. God's wish for us is not to be better but Best. Then what's God saying in today's scripture? Crookedness!
God dislikes crookedness. He loves truth. He enjoined us to be truthful in our dealings with human and worship to God (Exodus 23:1-3, Joshua 24:14, Psalms 15:2-3, John 4:24, Jeremiah 5:1-3). Lies, dishonesty and falsehood are all what the Lord frowns at. Hear Proverbs 6:16-19 "... six things that the LORD hates— seven, in fact, are detestable to him: Arrogant eyes, a lying tongue ..."
Beloved, Christians or non-Christians if we should avoid crookedness, lies and deceptiveness then this World will be a better place. Don't pursue riches at the detriment of humanity. Try your best to live a blameless life ( Job 1:1, Psalms 37:18).
Shalom!!
