Read Pr. 26:19,20
Wow, this is a scary promise! If a person betrays or deceives another associate then he is like a demon who hurls fiery arrows of ruin at him. I wonder what his reward will be. Unfortunately this kind of thing happens daily. People embezzle from the business they work for, corporations lie to their competitors to sell the most, people defame their coworker so they will get the promotion, husbands and wives deceive each other with other relationships. God sees it all and he has this rule: you reap what you sow. The thing is he is not in a hurry to punish you because he is hoping you will repent and lighten your sentence. The trouble with that is, we as humans think that time means we have gotten away with it. Nothing could be further from the truth. We WILL reap what we sow here on this earth. That is the mercy of God that we reap here on earth and not in heaven. We want to be judged here so we can repent and enter into God's rest when we die.
Lord, show us any deceit in us so that we can repent and be restored. We forgive those that have betrayed us. Have mercy on them.
