[Salvation]

**Proverbs 17:2 tells us that an honest man is not lazy.**

I remember when my kids had jobs picking berries where we live, that I told them to be honest they had to refrain from eating the berries.

Personal experience.

(Or throwing them across the field at someone.) But none of you ever did anything like that? Right?

A PRAYER FOR THE VIRTUE OF HONESTY

Jesus, Prince of all Heavenly truths,

Your Words are carved for eternity!

You have commanded the virtue of honesty,

It is the power against all deceptions.

Direct Your Spirit of honesty upon me,

That by soul may always remain stainless.

Guide my daily thoughts, words and actions,

To join those living by the Spirit of truth.

For honesty yields harmony and loyalty,

Enriching all human relationships.

By the power of Your Spirit that flourishes,

Honesty will prevail in this world!

 

We pray in your holy name, Lord Jesus.  Amen.

“I remember when my kids had jobs picking berries where we live, that I told them to be honest they had to refrain from eating the berries.”

I was reminded of “Don’t muzzle the ox when he is treading out the grain”.

I think there’s balance that can be argued here
