You’re in the store, it’s busy and you are in a rush. The clerk tallies up your items and states the amount you owe. You hand over a $20 bill, but when your change comes, you notice that you have received back more than you paid! Somehow that twenty wound up back in your hand!
A windfall! And you need it; that $20 would really help right about now. The people in line behind you are impatient, as much in a hurry as you are. You take your bags and turn to go….but you can’t.
You say to the clerk, “You gave me too much change.” You have done the right thing and God blesses those who do the right thing. Psalm 84:11b reminds us, “No good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”
That $20 bill is a pittance compared to the blessings that God will bestow upon those who are honest. May God bless you today as you count your change and return any overage you may receive. Pastor Jim.
