A taxi driver went viral in the social media not because he was cheating on the meter or trying to seduce the passenger.
The passenger, Celissa Joy Gammad, posted her experience with the taxi driver. They were stocked in the traffic and she went grumpy and impatient due to the inconvinience she felt. Not only her, but the taxi driver also. But instead of doing something unneccessary, he pulled out a book and read it. Just so you know, it is not an ordinary book, it's a BIBLE!
Many did amaze for the driver's deed, that instead of complaining the heavy traffic which is not new to the Philippines, he instead uses the time to read the Word of God.

One of the things that i hate doing is 'waiting'. But this taxi driver just taught me an invaluable lesson. While stuck in the heavy traffic, I pulled out my phone and did some mindless scrolling on Facebook and LinkedIn then played candy crush and twenty. Occasionally, i would utter 'tsk tsk' and sigh in disgust as the traffic jam looked like it would go on forever. This went on for an hour. I noticed that the taxi driver would pull out a book to read on every red light or when the car couldn't literally move because of the traffic. The book as it turned out, was the Bible. And there's another copy sitting out-front. I thought, maybe, at times he would share the other one with his passenger.
With the feeling of shame and guilt pressing in, as I haven't read my devotion for today, I murmured a prayer of apology and thanks to my God, who, at that moment, used a stranger to remind me on the value of idle time while 'waiting' and to worship Him while 'waiting' instead of complaining.
What do you do while waiting? From this day forward, I will worship while I'm waiting, like this taxi drive
