You've just moved into a new home, and?in the process of setting up the TV?you discover you're getting a lot of channels you're definitely not paying for. And let's just say that these channels are not "family friendly" channels. As you investigate the situation, you realize the previous owner had some sort of special hook-up that you've inherited. It's totally off the books, and the cable company will never know about it.<BR/><BR/>Is it a time to celebrate? Not for you, because you remember something from God's Word, a promise that He's made to honor those who honor Him. In this case, the "God-honoring" thing to do is clear. You pick up the phone, call the cable company, and ask them to remedy the situation. <BR/><BR/>It's not what everyone would do, but it's what a person who honors the Lord does. You've done the right thing, and you know God will be faithful to honor you in ways you can't even imagine. <BR/><BR/>All of us find ourselves in situations where we have opportunity to either "let it ride," in order to reap some instant gratification, or to give honor to God. What we choose to do in these moments reveals how much we believe God's promise to honor those who honor Him. <BR/><BR/>For the one who doesn't have a lot of confidence in God's promises, there's a real struggle. But for those who have consistently seen God fulfill His promises both in the lives of Bible characters and in their own lives, it's a no-brainer. Which type of person are you?<BR/><BR/>When did you do something honorable ?for God's glory? not yours? <BR/><BR/>How were you blessed?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Discuss this devotional or join the GodSpeaks.com Fellowship Community at http://Community.GodSpeaks.com.<BR/><BR/>Copyright 2008 GodSpeaks, Inc. <BR/>All Rights Reservedbettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527787253622306473.post-41441737853737512382008-10-31T21:34:00.000-07:002008-10-31T21:34:00.000-07:00Becky; that is so sad with how that lady handled t...Becky; that is so sad with how that lady handled the situation; I bet later she got convicted with how she handled it, but whether she'll apologize or not only time will tell<BR/><BR/>I always try to be careful to check things to see if we were fairly charged for everything we got; at restaurants we've called the waitress over to tell her she forgot to put something on the bill and they are always surprised when we do this. One night the waitress we got was in a bit of a mood. She did good service but you could just tell she didn't want to be there. She forgot to charge us for a coffee we got with dessert. We called her over and asked her to add it; she thanked us. The next time we came into that restaurant, she happened to be our waitress and she had big smiles on her face and said "I remember you; you told me to charge you for that coffee". <BR/><BR/>comparing the two situations, what leaves a better taste in the mouth and a better witness? <BR/><BR/>that lady in your situation should have thought and handled it better<BR/><BR/>(I'm still praying for you/your business :)<BR/><BR/>(thanks for finding my new blog:)<BR/>bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
