Hello ,
April, 2011:
It was an all-you-can-eat buffet at the bank. An army of termites munched through 10 million rupees ($222,000) in currency notes stored in a steel chest at a bank in Barabanki, a town 20 miles southwest of Lucknow, the Uttar Pradesh state capital, said police in northern India. The bank manager discovered the damage when he opened the reinforced room in an old bank building.
Police
officer Navneet Rana told The Associated Press, "It's a matter of investigation how termites attacked bundles of currency notes stacked in a steel chest." The money was put in the chest in January, 2011. In the past, termites had damaged bank furniture and documents. The police have registered a case of negligence against the bank officials.*
Most people could not help but be a little squeamish when looking at the picture above. It is
often the "little things" in life that do so much damage. The "little things" in our spiritual lives can often do damage as well; that little unforgiving thought, that unkind word towards someone who has been rude to us, the lingering glance at something that we know in our hearts is something that we shouldn't be looking at. Our Creator made us to crave happiness, but many of us have searched for happiness in places where it can never be found. The "little things" that often
detour us on our journey towards happiness can sidetrack us from finding true peace and joy in our walk with God.
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Phillipians
4:8
Let's ask God to help us make good decisions about the "little things" in life today. Giving Him control is the best decision that we make all day.
Have a great day and God bless!
