Proverbs 22:1 - A good name is more desirable than great riches

A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

What's in a name? Plenty!

In today's world where anyone can "google" you, a good name is worth more than ever.

Today's employers research potential candidates using all types of online tools.

I read an article recently which stated that we are the first generation whose grandchildren will be able to see everything about our lives electronically.

Can you imagine your grandchildren seeing archived editions of your blog? Your Facebook profile? Your status updates?

Each day we are truly building our own legacy. We should live our lives as Godly men and women of character who are not afraid to attach our names to anything we do.

Proverbs 10:9 - He who takes crooked paths will be found out

The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

Bernie Madoff was convicted of operating a Ponzi scheme that has been called the largest investor fraud ever committed by a single person.

In this "one big lie", as Madoff described it, Madoff stole from his own clients a staggering $65 billion dollars.

The person who walks securely is the one who lives with integrity according to God's Word. Though he may stumble, he will not fall.
