A mouth full of gravel

Besides the amazing love and grace that God gives to
us each moment, I also enjoy His justice. Do you remember God telling us that revenge is not for us to take on, but His? "Vengence is Mine says the Lord, I will repay". (Deuteronomy 32:35) THAT IS VERY COMFORTING. After all He can do a better job than we ever could.

We know so many people that cheat to get by in their lives. At times we are the one that gets cheated and it is frustrating. We try to do right, not giving in to the temptation of dishonesty. Well, if you are someone who gets mad at those who SEEM to get ahead by their dishonesty, here is something for you.
Proverbs 20:17 "Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel".
Folks stay honest, even when temptation arrives, because at the right time, God will judge all things. God will bless you as you wait on His justice. Then he will give those who cheat a mouthful of rocks! The sweetness of believing in God's promises and the eternal rewards for faith far outweigh the temporary pleasures of dishonesty (sin). God sees and He knows, He is just more patient than we are. Personally I am glad He is. It took me 35 years to realize this and it has changed my life. He has adopted me into His family. My hope is that you will too, as you discover His amazing qualities. If you are already part of His family than this reminder just helps you love Him even more.

PEACE...
