VERSE:
Ill-gotten treasures are of no value, but righteousness delivers
from death.
-- Proverbs 10:2
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Proverbs+10:2
THOUGHT:
Wealth, especially wealth gotten through greedy and wicked
means, proves to be of no lasting value. This rancid wealth rots
the heart of the one who gets it and it cannot save us from our
ultimate demise. Righteousness, however, is a far more precious
treasure. This righteousness of the Eternal God, this gift given to
us by grace through faith, is greater than the limits of our
mortality and powerful enough to redeem our soul from death.
PRAYER:
Holy and Righteous God, please make me righteous in your sight.
I want my greatest legacy to be my righteous character, not my
status, achievement, or wealth. I know my accomplishments will be
forgotten after my earthly life is over, but I am fully convinced
that the righteousness that you work in me will be a blessing and
an influence for generations after I am gone and will be my
accompanying treasure when I share with you in your glory. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
