Grace for your spirit February 12. 2013

Grace for your spirit
Keep deception and lies far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with food that is my portion.  Proverbs 30:7

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when at first we practice to deceive.  That old phrase reminds us that one lie leads to another, to another, and we get deeper in every time.  Like bouncing a check for $20.00.  It doesn't bounce back alone.  It comes back with a $20.00 charge from the store, and another $20.00 charge from the bank.  We couldn't face reality with truth, and now we are three times deeper and still owe the original $20.00.  The store hates us, the bank hates us, and we hate ourselves.  May we commit to happy with the portion we have from God.  Let's avoid the deception to get more and end up hurting ourselves.
