Rufus Jones, one of the great preachers of many years ago, tells the following story on himself. He was just a lad.
His mother and his father were getting ready to be off to town and as they went out the front door, they said to him, “We want you to weed the turnip patch.” He said that as he went out back and took one look at the turnip patch, for the first time in his life, he understood that biblical phrase, “Everlasting to everlasting.”He never saw so many weeds. And just at that moment, two of his friends came by with fishing poles over their shoulder and they said, “Rufus, let’s go fishing” and he would much rather go fishing than weed any old day and they said “when we come back, we’ll help you”.
So they went fishing.But that afternoon went like no afternoon ever went before, like somebody was chasing the time away and when they got back, those weeds weren’t weeded, and Mom and Dad were home and Rufus was in trouble.
And he said as he went in that house, his mother just took his fishing pole from him and said nothing.
Then as she turned to leave she looked at him and quite softly said, “Rufus, we trusted you and let us down. Our home is built on trust and you let us down.”
Then she walked out. ********************************************************************
Luke 16:10 - "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." (NIV)
