Keep Your Sight on the Upright

From today’s reading…

Envy not the lawless man and choose none of his ways: To the LORD the perverse one is an abomination, but with the upright is his friendship.”

They say nice guys finish last, but finish last at what? Eating poison? 

Yes, those donuts smell great, but you know how blah you’ll feel if you eat more than a bite.

Yes, it’s happy hour and you love a good Merlot at the end of the work day but you know with this crowd you won’t be able to stop at one so just head home.

Yes, you can game the system and get 10,000 followers on Instagram in 72 hours so you can “swipe up,” but what good is a fake, unengaged audience?

Yes, you can take steroids and PEDs and dope your blood to “win” a little more, but what are you winning?

Yes, you can cut corners and pad your margins when selling your products and services, but will you win a long-term customer who comes back again and again while singing your praises and referring their family and friends?

Face your fears. Embrace your obstacles. Get tough so you are better able to…

Stay the course. Keep the faith. Endure.
