The N.Y. cabbie was doing the right thing. He found 31 diamonds in his
cab that a lady passenger had left behind. Now, what would you have
done? The right thing is to return them whether there is a reward or
not. That is exactly what the driver did. It took quite a bit of time
for him to track down the passenger. He remembered that his $11 fair
tipped him 30 cents. Having been a taxi driver in my youth, I do know
that the tip was excruciatingly small and totally thoughtless of the
lady. Yet, he was willing to still do the right thing and return the
possession.
Anyway, he found the passenger and returned the diamonds, which would
have been a devastating loss to her. For his efforts, he was rewarded
with $100 for the return of what must have been thousands of dollars
worth of diamonds. Ah well. She certainly didn’t want to give this guy a
big head, did she?
All of this reminds me that our Lord requires us to be at our best,
whether we are in company or home alone where no one can see us. He
knows that what we do in secret will one day be revealed in the Light,
both good and evil. We are to learn to walk the path of the Lord and
walk in His Light. It sounds easy, doesn’t it. I realize that it is not.
But it is essential to our growth as Christians. We must be the same
today and tomorrow. We cannot put on our "company face" for others and
expect God to honor that. It doesn’t fly. Not honorable.
So, today is a great day to rededicate your life to the Lord, working on
honoring Him in all you do. Remember, you are God’s witness at home,
where you work, where you party, with your family and friends or while
you are shopping. It matters not where you are. It matters how you act.
Are you a good witness for the Lord?
