Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
When I was 19, I was working construction to pay for college. One of my peers invited me to go somewhere with him after work.
On our way, he stopped where we usually filled up the company truck and he filled up his car and charged the gas to the company account. When I asked about his action, he said, “Isn’t it great! They never check.”
Later, I was short on cash, so I stopped at that gas station and charged my gas to the company account. Weeks later my boss called me into the office and fired me for theft.
Proverbs 13:20 teaches, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.”
Be careful of the company you keep. You may become just like them.
