A guy rushed into a service station one day and asked the manager if he had a pay phone. The manager nodded, \u2018Sure, over there.\u2019 <\/p>\n
The guy inserted a couple of coins, dialled and waited for an answer. Finally someone came on the line. \u2018Uh, sir,\u2019 he said in a deep, gruff voice, \u2018could you use an honest, hard-working young man?\u2019 The station manager couldn\u2019t help overhearing the question. After a moment or two the guy said, \u2018Oh, you already have an honest, hard-working young man? Well, okay. Thanks all the same.\u2019 A broad smile stretched across his face. He hung up and started back to his car, obviously elated. <\/p>\n
\u2018Hey, just a minute,\u2019 the station manager said, \u2018I couldn\u2019t help but hear your conversation. Why are you so happy? I thought the man said he already had someone and didn\u2019t need you?\u2019<\/p>\n
The guy smiled. \u2018Well, you see, I am that honest, hard-working young man. I was just ringing my boss to check up on myself!\u2019<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re serious about walking with God, examine yourself regularly. Are you praying, reading God\u2019s Word and renewing your mind daily? How about your attitudes? Are they slipping? <\/p>\n
Your attitudes send a signal before you\u2019ve said a word. They\u2019re like traffic lights. Sometimes they flash red, which means: \u2018Stop, don\u2019t get in my way, I\u2019m too busy to love, help, or care.\u2019 Sometimes they flash yellow, which means: \u2018I\u2019m touchy and out-of-sorts, I could go either way.\u2019 Sometimes they flash green, which means: \u2018It\u2019s go, I\u2019m with you, you can count on me.\u2019 <\/p>\n
The Bible says, \u2018Let us examine our ways and test them and let us return to the Lord.\u2019<\/i> What needs to be examined regularly? \u2018Our ways!\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
