A Good Name

Proverbs 22:1

New International Version (NIV)

22 A good name is more desirable than great riches;
    to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

In a world where your worth is based on your family’s bank account, it is hard for today’s Christians to be unmoved by the topic of finances. Everyone who doesn’t live under a rock has thought about what it would be like to be rich, to have the money to go wherever you want, buy whatever you want and have people look up to you. This idea of having monetary wealth is the cause for many issues that come about in life. We see people like the Kardashians on television and in magazines that advertise a lifestyle that displays excess of money and resources.

God does not place a monetary value on anyone. The Lord loves to spoil His children with whatever they desire, however, He does not have dollar bills falling from the sky into people’s laps for a reason…Because God knows that we would not be unfazed by the money and stay focus on our walk.

You are worth what you do with your life…

Not just doing going about doing good, but being the representation of what God can do.

You can have as many zeros in your bank account, but it cannot buy you salvation or even favor with God and men. Everyone can get money, but not everyone can get a good name in the sight of the Lord.
