One who is greedy for gain troubles his household, but he who hates bribes will live. This verse from Proverbs 15:27 speaks to the dangers of greed and dishonesty. In business, the pursuit of wealth should not come at the expense of integrity or relationships. Greed causes strife and division, but those who seek righteousness and reject bribery will experience peace and stability. Birthdays offer a time to reflect on our values and the ways we handle wealth and success. Do we chase after material gain at any cost, or do we prioritize integrity and honesty in all that we do? God calls us to seek righteousness over riches, knowing that true peace and prosperity come from Him alone. Let us commit to living with integrity, rejecting greed, and honoring God with our wealth, knowing that He rewards those who seek His righteousness.
