“. . . not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does” (James 1:25).
A certain sales manager was complaining to a colleague about one of his salesmen. “George is so forgetful that it’s a wonder he can sell anything. I asked him to pick up some sandwiches on his way back from lunch, but I’m not sure he’ll even remember to come back.” Just then, the door flew open and in came George. “You’ll never guess what happened!” he shouted. “At lunch, I met Fred Brown, the president of that Fortune 500 company from which we haven’t received an order in ten years. Well, we got to talking, and he gave me an order worth 15 million dollars!” “You see,” said the sales manager, “I told you he’d forget the sandwiches.”
