Better to Be Poor and Honest

God does not bless dishonesty. Proverbs 16:11a says, ���The Lord demands fairness in every business deal��� (TLB). That includes wages, salaries, and taxes. If you want God���s blessing on your finances, you must be honest about them. The Bible also says, ���It is better to be poor and honest than to be foolish and tell lies��� (Proverbs 19:1 NCV).
