MAY 27, Proverbs 22:1

“Do you know who was caught shoplifting? Jonathan, of course.” “Jonathan stole books and was punished by the principal.” 

“Jonathan borrowed money from many boys and didn’t return the money.”

Everybody in school knew about Jonathan. He was known as the greedy and dishonest boy who always gets into trouble. He was always taking other people’s things. He certainly didn’t have a good name. For he had given himself a bad name. You do remember, a good name is better than riches.

Thought: A good name is better than riches.

Prayer: Help me Heavenly Father not to do things that bring shame to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
