2 Kings 12 “honest men”

Honesty is a trait that pleases God. The people brought their offerings to help repair the temple and it was placed in the boxes outside the temple. The priests would count it after it was filled and then given to the workmen. This is said of them “Moreover, they did not require an accounting from the men into whose hand they gave the money to pay to those who did the work, for they dealt faithfully.” [2 Kings 12:15] Nothing is said of the temptation as they stood by the collection boxes. The only statement is that they were honest and faithful. What does God say about me as I am given the charge to stand by and protect God’s Word? Am I honest? Am I faithful? What will history record about me? About you? 

Honesty is a trait that pleases both man and God. Be honest today in all you say and do.
