Proverbs 4:9 The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.
When Fred Phillips, retired public-safety director and police chief of Johnson City, Tenn., was a regular police office, he and his partner pulled over an unlicensed motorist. They asked the man to follow them to the police station, but while en route they spotted a North Carolina vehicle whose license plate and driver matched the description in an all-points bulletin.
The officers took off in a high-speed chase, and finally stopped the wanted man's car.
Minutes later, as the felon was being arrested, the unlicensed motorist drove up. "If y'all will just tell me how to get to the station, I'll wait for you there," he said. "I'm having a heck of a time keeping up with you."

Honesty doesn't look glamorous anymore. People today are ready to take any path to be successful and to receive fame. It’s no more slow and steady but by hook or by crook. Somehow the idea of honesty has been written away.
But the Bible tells us to be people of noble Character at all times. The world might be running away leaving us behind with all sorts of tricks and malice. But you and I need to stick to the pattern of the Lord and move in the right path to glorify God. I.e when God is most glorified, because God's work in God's way will never lack God's provision. Be honest dude.
