The Noble ExperimentSample

Can you imagine a statement more opposite to how the world operates? Our capitalistic culture pushes the narrative that more is better. Therefore, we think we must go get more. While having more is not a problem, how you acquire it can be. This proverb offers us a mindset shift of what’s most valuable. It’s not wrong to want nice things or work hard, but if we’re willing to lie or cheat to get there, we lose something far more valuable: our integrity. Greed and envy can easily creep in when we’re focused on getting more, but God’s wisdom tells us to focus on being trustworthy and true. That’s a noble pursuit!

Today, ask God to help you value integrity in the pursuit of what you want and give you the wisdom to make decisions that build more of it in your life. Remember, that’s the kind of wealth that lasts.
