3rd F:
A man and his wife were invited to spend the evening at his employer’s home for dinner, and then out into town to see the sites and attractions. His boss is very wealthy, and is very generous with his money and doesn’t want anyone to spend a dime.
The man’s wife was delighted to experience the life of the extremely wealthy. She knew this would be an experience that she would always remember.
On one occasion as they were about to enter an exclusive restaurant for some dessert, the boss was walking slightly ahead of them. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a few seconds in silent.
An awkward silence followed. What was he starring at? There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped. Quietly, the rich boss reached down and picked up the penny.
He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure. The wife’s was in awe. How absurd she thought! Why would he waist his time picking up a single penny?
Throughout the evening, the wife thought about that penny… and it bothered her. Finally, she causally mentioned that her son once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been rare one.
A smile crept across the man’s face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see.
Look at it. He said. Read what it says. She read the words United States of America.
No, not that; read further.
One cent? No, keep reading.
In God we Trust? Yes!
The wife replied…And?
The rich man said, And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even his name on a coin. Whenever I find a coin, I pick it up and see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it!
God drops a message right in front of me, telling me to trust Him?
Whenever I see a coin, I stop and look at it to see if my trust is still in in God. I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God’s way of starting a conversation with me, and I’m thankful for that. God is patient and pennies are plentiful!
Psalm 34:4-6
Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.
