Prov 10:2 “Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death.”
The world often celebrates success—no matter how it’s achieved. But God’s view is different. In His eyes, gaining without integrity is no gain at all. Dishonest gain may look prosperous for a time, but it leads to emptiness and loss.
Integrity is doing what’s right, even when it’s costly, even when no one is watching. It is walking uprightly before God and man. The blessings that come from integrity are lasting—they carry peace, honor, and the favor of God. But gain achieved through deceit, manipulation, or unrighteous means will ultimately fail us.
What are you chasing today? Don’t sacrifice your character for temporary rewards. God honors those who walk in truth. Real success is found in righteousness. Choose integrity over shortcuts. Choose faithfulness over fame. In the end, what matters most isn’t what you’ve gained—but how you gained it.
