—Proverbs 10:1-12
by: Richard Crouch.
Who says that nice guys finish last? Not Solomon. Everything in this passage says the good guys win. Walk in integrity, and you will be rewarded. Lazy, wicked cheaters will suffer.
If only those results were immediate, life would seem so much fairer. It’s hard for me to maintain my integrity when I see liars and cheaters succeeding and passing me by. I try to tell myself that I will be rewarded in the end, but my words aren’t convincing. However, God’s words are. Reading a passage like this brings me much more comfort than human words ever could.
