Job 15:34
For the company of the godless will be barren,
and fire will consume the tents
of those who love bribes.

During World War II, French industrial multi-millionaire Joseph Joanovici helped the invading German Nazis by selling precious metals to Hitler's forces. When the Nazis occupied Paris, Joanovici used his wealth and influence to bribe several German officers for his personal safety, which resulted in him later being implicated in the deaths of many French resistors. Eventually, the law caught up with Joanovici and bribery was the root cause of his downfall. So what’s the moral of this story? Well, it's simply that one can disregard the principles of the Bible, but you can’t disregard the aftermath of that decision. Face it, you can't buy, bribe or excuse your way out of the trials of your path. Give yourself over to Lord and you'll find your barren life filled with joy.
