Double Footprints

A crusty old man walks into a bank and says to the teller at the window: I want to open a damn checking account." To which the astonished woman replies: "I beg your pardon, sir; I must have misunderstood you.What did you say?" "Listen up bitch! I said, I want to open a damn checking account! right now!" "I'm very sorry sir, but we do not tolerate that kind of language in this bank." Having said this, the teller leaves the window and goes over to the bank manager to tell him about her problem customer.

They both return and the manager asks the old geezer: "What seems to be the problem here?" "There's no damn problem, sonny," the elderly man says. "I just won 50 million bucks in the damn lottery and I want to open a damn checking account in this damn bank!" "I see," says the manager thoughtfully. "And you're saying that this bitch here is giving you a hard time?"

CHALLENGE
Footprints that capture the fine lines of our feet means steady footing. Likewise, a steady faith amidst troubles ensures a peaceful living.

WALK WITH THE LORD

Lord Jesus, when challenging situations walk towards me, help me to remain stable in my faith in You. Amen.

WALK WITH THE WORD
For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, since he is a man of two minds, unstable in all his ways. (James 1:7-8)
