† The Stealership † The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, searching all his innermost parts. Proverbs 20:27 ESV A friend of mine once worked as a salesman at a car dealership. One day a lady wanted to buy a certain car, but the air conditioning did not work. The manager promised to fix it if she brought it back later in the month, so she purchased the car as is. When she brought the car back to have it repaired, the manager denied promising her anything and then called my friend in as a witness. At that point my friend had to make a decision: To do right, or look the other way to keep his job. He sided with the woman and got her A/C fixed, but the embarrassed manager got even with him and he lost his job. In the end it worked out for the best as the stealership soon closed and my friend has a loyal following of people that will only buy a car from him, wherever he works. Have you ever done something and then felt wrong about it? Maybe you did not describe the item that you sold clearly enough? I certainly have. In business transactions it is easy to lean towards the salesman in us. The Spirit searches all of our motives and transactions as a light shining into the darkest places. It reveals the things that we would like to keep hidden. If you face a choice of doing what is right or looking the other way, remember that right will always work out for the best in the long run.
