Good Morning,
Psalm 37:16 States:
It is better to have little and be right, than to have much and be wrong
Being right is not an arrogant statement, rather it is about knowing the truth. Since the truth will set us free, being truthful, and living in the truth are the correct way to live. Otherwise we are living a lie, even if it is only a white lie, or shades of gray.
Knowing and living the truth is the key to a successful and prosperous life.
Imagine you are driving to a destination where you have never been to before. You are using a GPS on your dashboard to help you find the location. If the GPS is giving you truthful directions, unless the maps have not been updated in the GPS, then you will get to your destination. If, on the other hand, the GPS is giving you UN-truthful information, what will happen? You will get lost, or try driving down roads that the GPS says are in front of you, but in reality are not there.
Also, it is not about riches and plenty, it is about the truth. Even if you have little, when you live in the truth, you have the ability to do wondrous things. I bet you know many people who live ‘modest lives’ and have the ability to achieve amazing accomplishments. They live in the truth, and they do with what they have, and still get the job done.
When you are wrong, you are living outside of the truth and this almost always to troubles. I remember back in my college days at the
What was that about? If I was not learning what I needed to learn to do a job, then why was I learning it in the first place?
Even with riches, being wrong will not help you keep them. We hear “A fool and his money are often parted” and to avoid “throwing good money after bad”. Each of these indicates that no matter how wealthy you are if you are not living in the truth, eventually there will be problems.
Keep your eyes open and accept what is real and live in the present and life will be more enjoyable.
Enjoy!
