Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
Proverbs 16:8
Consider the Baby and The Apple.
He visited his grandmother, and saw a delicious red apple sitting on her table as the two of them talked together.
As they spoke, he began to lust for the apple, not unlike Eve and the Fruit from the Garden of Eden.
Then his grandmother stepped away to answer her telephone--
--and that was his chance.
He snatched the apple while his grandmother's was turned away from him, and she asked the lad where the apple went. He of course said he hadn't seen anything, and didn't know what had happened to the apple.
The rub was that she didn't look away much later, so that he didn't have time to steal away a bite of his secret treasure.
So he couldn't enjoy it.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
James 1:7
