need800 does have a point in the sense that there are laws in this present world, one of which is that you will reap what you sow. Harvest time does not happen the day after you plant, so the results of our actions often take time to manifest themselves. That cheater will temporarily look great and receive some benefit. My front lawn has a lot of weeds, which when they were young looked nice and thick and green. But after a few weeks when those dandelions and ragweed went to seed, it looked awful. After some time, there was no mistaking what had been growing all along. It will be the same way with the cheater, and his true nature will come to light–if not in this life then in the next.

At least for Christians, believing in God means we know that there will be that day of reckoning when everyone will have to give an account of their actions. If God punished every human misdeed immediately, which of us would survive more than a day or two? No one would, so He shows mercy, and gives us time to learn His ways and learn from our mistakes. But, the Bible also says God is not mocked. Ultimately, no one ever “gets away” with anything.

So, while the above may not change a current situation in which a cheater has been rewarded over an honest person, it should at least give us some comfort.
