Proverbs 20-22

How important is the reputation of your name?

A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches; And favor is better than silver and gold. [Pr. 20:1 AMP]

With a good name and a favorable credit rating, you can borrow money … for a home, a car etc. A bad reputation for repaying debts will leave you high and dry when an emergency need arises. Whether you realize it or not, the financial community pays close attention to your trustworthiness.

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. [Pr. 20:11 KJV]
