Ralph Steinman died on Friday before hearing the announcement on Monday that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Prize, since the 1970's, has only been awarded to the living and not posthumously. Proverbs 3:27 came to mind. "Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it." The time we have now on earth to give a good word or do a good deed is passing. The Lord will reward us according to our deeds, but the time will come to an end for us to give here on earth. Is there a word due a spouse, a parent, a brother, or a sister? Is there a word due the Lord, a church, or a nation? Is there a word or deed due to anyone in whom it is in the power of your hand to give it? Withhold not good from them to whom it is due; some rewards cannot be awarded posthumously.
