A college girl who was a fine scholar & had a noble
spirit volunteered to be a counselor at a girl's camp. Despite her abilities,
she was required to peel potatoes in the kitchen.
The head mistress of the camp, realizing that this was quite
a menial task for such a talented & highly intellectual girl, exclaimed,
"It's too bad that a young woman of your education should have to peel
potatoes."
The girl who was a splendid Christian looked up brightly
& replied, "But, Miss Baldwin, remember, I don't have to think about
potatoes while I'm peeling them."
The application is obvious. You can keep your soul out of
the dust no matter what your task. Let the Holy Spirit discipline your mind by
dismissing suspicion & replacing it with hope & trust.
Bible says: "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is
true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or
praiseworthy, think about these things." (Phi 4:8 NET).
