He took the expensive alcoholic beverage from the gift hamper, and
emptied it into the restroom sink. Despite knowing that those around
him craved it, he didn’t consider giving anyone what he dared not
take. While they wondered why he should waste their treasure, he knew
that working out his salvation, required taking a stand which others
didn’t need to understand in the immediate. He chose to risk fame for
what he considered a deeper and more enduring obligation.

“So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city
of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the
Gittite.” – 2 Samuel 6:10 (KJV)

Whatever honest conviction rejects, cannot be a good gift to others
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
