Proverbs 11:16-23 ~ Integrity in Character

Excerpt:

To do things in grace. Not gracefully, but in the grace of God, in consideration of others with a motivation of grace in order to add grace to the hearers. Just minister God’s grace to people. Even in difficult times, even if you have to go out and grind it out, because the end result is honor. In other words, the emphasis here is, "What are you attaining to?  What is the goal?" Is it honor? Do you want to be known for being an honorable person? You do whatever it takes to do what is right. Or how about brute force to become wealthy? The proverb of truth here is that strength of character is better than strength of arms.
