A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. — Psalm 37:16

What is your most valuable capital: money or character? I can tell you that this issue will be posed to you in a variety of ways, frequently at the worst possible time when you are most vulnerable. Martin Luther is reputed to have declared that the last thing to convert a man was his pocketbook. So you’ll take the little of the virtuous above the wealth of many wicked? Hmmm! In a pinch, this is a difficult question. So let’s make that decision now, before things change. Isn’t it true that God, his Kingdom, his will, and his righteousness come first?

Prayer

Almighty God, creator and owner of all, please grant me a love for justice and a disgust for greed and covetousness. I want to serve you with an undivided heart that cannot be persuaded by the pecuniary worth of a decision. Please help me make my selections based on what is pleasing to your will. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
