My Gideon Bible
As I am driving to work, I noticed these elderly gentlemen handing out 'something'. As I stood at a stop light, about 10 people walked by one gentleman and completely denied his offering..I was curious what he was handing out. So I parked my car and instead of taking my 'short-cut' into work, I decided to walk the long way, just so I could get a glimpse of what these men were handing out.
As I got closer, I soon realized how many people wouldn't even look at these men in the eye. I walked up, he handed me a little green book, I looked down and it said "New Testament | Psalms and Proverbs.
Wow, was I excited, I said thank you very much took the Bible and told each of the gentleman to have a blessed day! Talk about shock--those two men looked at me and both said "Thank you!"
So here I am today to say Thank You, Father! Thank you for bringing Your Word to my work. I'm thinking it was a way of telling me that I need to "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) which in fact I will do. Prayer doesn't have to stop in the workplace. Sometimes I feel that is where I need it most.
