Give it back

Friends,

Are you tempted to keep what is inadvertently given to you ... like a bit too much change, or a mistaken discount, or a place in line? Scrupulous honesty can be difficult to exercise in this cut-throat world. But it is what our LORD expects.

Do not remove the ancient landmark,
Nor enter the fields of the fatherless;
For their Redeemer is mighty;
He will plead their cause against you.
Proverbs 23:10-11 [NKJV]

Do not make someone else poorer so that you can enjoy ill-gotten gains. It is a path that leads to God's wrath. Enjoy what is honestly earned and provided by the LORD.

Be encouraged, Jose
