For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. Mat 16:27
Inside their high-tech video headquarters B. E. Langley and a handful of twenty-something-year-old employees leaned close to a computer monitor to secretly monitor Billy Anhiester in his office. Billy started to pick up a lingerie catalogue but put it back down. "I'll give him $150,000 for that little act of decency," the white-haired Langley stated as he held an Italian shoe in one hand and rubbed his silk-clad foot with the other.
All three employees dropped their jaws. The fellow who was standing so as to yield his chair to Mr. Langley declared, "Whoa, I'm definitely on the wrong side of this video camera." Langley was an eccentric billionaire looking for creative ways to distribute some excess wealth. His staff randomly selected an average Joe, in this case Billy Anhiester, with the plan of secretly monitoring Billy's every move via electronic surveillance equipment and assigning generous monetary rewards for each noble action. After 30 days of tracking the Langley Foundation would announce what they had done for Billy and how much he unwittingly earned. Langley hoped to spur public interest toward right living when people thought no one was watching.
At Mr. Langley's request the Statics Technician recounted Billy's total so far, "We have three awards of $30k for general kindness to the public, one $75k award for mailing a charity donation, twelve $25k awards for kind things said to his family and roommates, you gave him $700k that time he refused to cheat a customer at work, $25k for cheerfulness in spite of illness, and now with what we just saw we have two instances of $150k for good moral decisions. Running total of 1.49 million. That's a lot and he still has 14 days remaining."
Another Tech replied, "Ya, but he could have much more. He'll kick himself when this is over."
While Heaven watches our lives mean far more than we know.
Prayer: King Jesus, help me use life today for Your glory.
