Exodus 20:15

You shall not steal.

I've been thinking a lot about this Commandment the past few days.  Most of us probably wouldn't go into a store or a bank and steal something outright.  But what about the little things we do that "don't really count", kind of like little white lies?

Do we ever neglect to let a store know when we've been undercharged, or given too much change?  Do we fail to feed the parking meter because we'll only be there for a few minutes, and most likely won't be caught?  Do we take credit for something that really should be due to somebody else?  What about time?  When we are late and make other people wait, we're taking their time - something that cannot be replaced. 

Integrity is a vital thing.  We need to be honest and upright in everything we do.
