“He that walketh uprightly
walketh surely” Proverbs
10:9
TRUE WALKING POSTURE
His walk may be slow, but it is sure. He that hasteth to be
rich shall not be innocent nor
sure; but steady perseverance in
integrity, if it do not bring
riches, will certainly bring
peace. In doing that which is
just and right we are like one
walking upon a rock, for we have
confidence that every step we
take is upon solid and safe
ground.
On the
other hand, the utmost success
through questionable
transactions must always be
hollow and treacherous, and the
man who has gained it must
always be afraid that a day of
reckoning will come, and then
his gains will condemn him.
Let us stick to truth and righteousness. By God’s grace let
us imitate our Lord and Master,
in whose mouth no deceit was
ever found. Let us not be afraid
of being poor, nor of being
treated with contempt. Never, on
any account whatever, let us do
that which our conscience cannot
justify.
If we lose inward peace, we lose
more than a fortune can buy. If
we keep in the Lord’s own way,
and never sin against our
conscience, our way is sure
against all comers.
Who is he that can harm us if we
be followers of that which is
good? We may be thought fools by
fools if we are firm in our
integrity; but in the place
where judgment is infallible we
shall be approved.
"Lord
Dictated"
