The value of honesty is amplified when we consider how much the Lord detests dishonesty. In the law given to the children of Israel, a stern warning is issued against those who would cheat in their business dealings.

God observes every transaction and smiles upon honesty and integrity, but is opposed to any form of giving yourself undue advantage at anyone else’s expense.

Honesty is a valuable character quality to teach to children.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you.

DAILY READING:  Deut. 22-25
