CHARGE IT PLEASE! – Luke 10:35 Devotional by Pastor Cecil A. Thompson

https://DailyEvotional.com/ -- Luke 10:35

“Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.”

There was a time when neighborhood grocery stores kept a charge box of charge books for regular customers. After checking your items you could ask the checker to please just put it in your book.

I am sure there are communities where it is still a common practice to go into a grocery store, check out at the counter and then just ask the checker to charge it please! While that brings back many fond memories for us now – – it was really tough times back then.

When I was first in the Air Force, Joyce and I often had no money to buy groceries before payday at the end of the month. There was a sweet couple at the church we attended who owned a small grocery store. They saw our need and graciously allowed us to charge groceries until the end of the month.

God has assured us that He has opened an account with our name on it. We only have to choose the blessings He offers. What a sweet assurance we have in knowing that not only do we have a charge book, but that He has marked our huge account – – paid in full!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
