Tues July 21 Honesty
The saying, “Honesty is the best policy” is a proverb of Benjamin Franklin; however, the quote “Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom” is attributed to Thomas Jefferson, as used in a letter to Nathaniel Macon.
The Bible talks a great deal about honesty.
“Provide things honest in the sight of all men” (Romans 12:17).
“Let us walk honestly” (Romans 13:13).
“Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation” (1 Peter 2:12).
“That we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty”(1 Timothy 2:2).
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest … think on these things” (Philippians 4:8).
Let’s be like the writer of Hebrews, who said,“We trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly” (Hebrews 13:18).
