Devotional Thought on Honesty

Last spring, my husband and I had our income tax returns done. I was extremely busy with all of the usual activities of life at the time, and hurriedly ran about pulling open drawers, looking for records and receipts, all about an hour before I was supposed to have the information gathered together. I guesstimated how much we had donated for charities and how much we had spent for medical expenses. I began to feel uncomfortable, but silently reasoned that I had done all I was able to do under the circumstances.

The next morning, as I left the house for my Bible study, I murmured a quick prayer. “Lord . . . If you want me to go back through all my records and do it right, I will. Just let me know.” On the way to the Bible study, the woman who was driving began to talk about . . . being obedient to the Lord even in small things. She said her mother laughs at her for being so honest on her income tax! I squirmed in my seat. I knew what I had to do. Although it was slightly embarrassing to call our accountant back with the correct figures, I felt better once I had. And I felt a whole lot better knowing that I had been obedient to the Lord’s voice.
