Daily Nugget

Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

The Roman historian Sallust said of the statesman Cato, “He preferred to be good rather than to seem good.” Sometimes we are content to just seem good. As long as others know our virtues and are ignorant of our vices, we are content—but we ought not to be!

May we have the same desire, and that is to be good rather than just seem to be so. A good reminder would be the daily news as we see so-called respectable men and women reduced to shame because of character indiscretions. The writer of Proverbs 10:9 says,

“He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.”

"God, help me to walk daily in Your footsteps.
Amen."

God is Love. Let us reflect that.
