Fame is a vapor,
Popularity an accident.
Riches take wings.
Only one thing endures,
Character.
– Horace Greely.
Joseph, the son of Jacob, had character:
Genesis 39:9
How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?
Ruth had character when she left Moab:
Ruth 1:16-17
But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.”
Character consists of the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. If you don’t have it, God can supply it.
Give it some thought.
