"...whatever things are of good report...meditate on these things" ~Phil 4:8~

Another verse comes to my mind in relation to this phrase: "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold" ~Prov 22:1~ God wants us to walk worthy of the name of Christ. He wants us to be men & women of integrity, known to all people as individuals of honor. The way we conduct our business, pay our bills, give our tithes, honor our word, speak with respect, and live honestly...all things lead to a good report for both us, and the Heavenly Father we represent. I'm amazed that as we work hard to build good relationships in every area of our life-work, church, community, school, business- God honors that as well, and when we occasionally make some mistakes, folks are much more open to assist us, forgive us our short comings, knowing that it this the exception and not the rule of our lives.
