Attractive Loyalty

Loyalty makes a person attractive.
It is better to be poor than dishonest.
--Proverbs 19:22

It seems so obvious to us when we read the proverb, but when we go to work on our attractiveness this morning it probably will be with the aid of a mirror, brush, razor, makeup and other tools of the trade. Loyalty likely will not enter into the picture until we read our verse for today. Oh, loyalty makes a person attractive, that must be how those stars in Hollywood got their fame and fortune. Yeah, that's it, sure it is. The world may consider loyalty as weak, stupid, or even a failure to capitalize on advancement opportunity. Unless of course a person becomes a corporate officer and gets caught in dishonesty. Then suddenly loyalty and honesty are sterling qualities that should be found in all those in authority. Yes, those old proverbs collected by Solomon have a message for us in this age.

Have a loyal and honest day in our Lord Jesus; it makes you attractive!
