Sunday Thought 5

It is easy to get tempted to cut corners ethically when we face financial challenges. But we should never allow ourselves to be trapped into anything that is unethical, immoral, or dishonest, no matter how inviting it seems. “Such will be my wages. So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come concerning my wages.” (Bible, Genesis 30:32)

There are no small lies and no small thefts–there are only lies and only thefts.

In the short run cutting corners may seem to benefit. But in the long run integrity is what pays.
