Proverbs 14:34 (NIV)
34 Righteousness exalts a nation,
but sin condemns any people.
but sin condemns any people.
Wow, what an indictment. When we vote our pocketbook more than
character and when we excuse the indiscretions, infidelities, and illegalities
in the leaders of both political parties, we have reached a very sad state
indeed! But before we rant and rave about the sad state of morality in our
public officials, let's make sure we're honest in our own daily lives — that we
don't say cruel things about others, that we remain faithful to our marriages
and our purity vows, and let's make sure that we expect of ourselves higher
standards than we do of others.
Thought for today:
What is the moral standard of measure for my character?
