VIRTUE
Wisdom of Solomon 4:2
When virtue is present, people imitate it,
And when it goes away, they long for it.
Throughout one's lifetime,
Virtue leads the struggle for undefiled prizes,
Wearing a crown and conquering.
Personal Challenge
Where has the value of virtue gone in our society? It has all but disappeared from our postmodern world and people wonder why it is so chaotic. Do we really want the undefiled, godly prizes of life? Do we want to wear crowns of glory and conquer the evils of this world? Then we must pursue the virtues that are important to God and not the ones important to man. Here is a table identifying a good start at seeing what virtues counter various passions (or vices).
Glory be to God!
