I was using the ATM at my
local bank. It’s set up like a lot of banks with a set of glass doors to the
machine and then another set in to the bank. I always watch the people coming
in while I’m making a withdrawal. I saw this man coming in the door at a pretty
good clip. He comes in the first set of doors and turns right behind me and
runs right in to the glass wall!
He falls to the ground hard,
and his file and papers going flying. I turned and helped him to his feet. As I
picked up his papers I asked if he was okay. He replied, “What happened?” I
told him he ran in to a wall. He said, “That’s impossible, the man from the
bank told me to come through the doors and turn right and I’d be at his desk.”
Well, he was okay and went on
through the second set of doors to his appointment. I thought now there is
someone who takes instruction literally!
Even though it was kind of
funny I can appreciate someone taking and following directions. Jesus said, “If
you love me then obey my commands”. Makes you think. If God spoke
literally to us and told us to go and do this or that, would we?
Wait a minute, I think He
did.
Be wise today and always –
obey the Word.
