The phone rang. I didn’t recognize the number but it was a local call I thought. I said hello. “I am upgrading your Internet service,” the recording said, “free.” That sounded okay, so I pressed the number 1 as requested.

Trusting is important. But where you put your trust is paramount. It’s hard to think that someone would make a living cheating people but sadly, it happens and the danger of such an interaction?

In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.” Proverbs 3:5
