💭 Daily Devotional Thought

Today's Adobe story is a good reminder that accountability, even when it comes late, still matters. Proverbs 11:3 says, "The integrity of the upright guides them." Businesses — and all of us — are called to deal honestly with others, especially when the temptation is to bury the fine print where no one will look. When transparency wins, everyone benefits; and when it doesn't, the truth tends to find its way out anyway.
