A Good Name

“A good name is to be more desired than great wealth, Favor is better than silver and gold.” Proverbs 22:1

A good name is certainly something to be treasured and protected, especially when you realize that as a Christian our name is not the only name that is on the line. When we bear the Lord’s name we must always think, walk and speak accordingly. We must strive to always behave in such a way that His holy name would not be tarnished by any of our activities. Maintaining a good name is just another reason why the daily renewal of our minds is so important. Walking in steps He has ordered is the best way to maintain your good name, bring honor and glory to His name and find favor with God and others.

A good reputation is a powerful thing and once shattered it might take years to rebuild. When we act in accordance with His good name we will have a good name as well.
