Proverbs 20:17 (KJV) Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

Most of us avoid what we would consider deceit.  I’m not sure that everyone who deals with us feels the same way.  So one of the things that comes across here is we need to be more critical of our own motives and our own methods.  I would suggest bending over backwards to make sure that we are standing in the place of righteousness .

It is so easy to compromise.  It is so easy to make excuses.  What we need to understand is that the ultimate judge of our transactions and positions is God himself.

So?  Believe me you don’t want God filling your mouth with gravel.  That doesn’t mean you won’t have time to recover or that God won’t forgive you in the long run, but it’s not great finding a piece of sand in your spinach.
