Kathy and I were visiting a new city and wanted to experience local food. The hotel concierge recommended and called a restaurant for reservations.
At first, the restaurant refused to take our reservation. Our concierge pressed on until we were finally promised a reservation at precisely 6:45, not earlier or later.
The next night we were excited to try out this exclusive restaurant. We were stunned, however, when we entered the tiny restaurant. They only had seven tables and no customers. We felt deceived and that we were played for their gain.
Proverbs 11:18 teaches, “A wicked person earns deceptive wages, but one who sows righteousness gets a true reward.”
In business, you may have a short term win from deceptive practices, but it will ultimately catch up to you.
