The thought hit me yesterday evening: it is amazing how differently people behave when they realize the eyes of authority are watching. Even if a cop is driving behind you down the highway - you make a quick and nervous assessment of how you are driving....look at the speedometer, grip the wheel tighter, carefully avoid any side to side movements, wonder if date on license plate is correct, pray that brake lights and signals work correctly.
How much more should care be given to our actions if we believe that the eyes of God are observing our every move? He is ALWAYS right behind us in the highway of life....
"You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance." - Psalm 90:8
"For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, nor is their iniquity hidden from my eyes." - Jeremiah 16:17
"For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He ponders all his paths." - Proverbs 5:21
I think it might be wise that each of us post these Scriptures on our refrigerators, dashes of our vehicles, everywhere - this sobering knowledge that God sees us clearly and at all times can stir us to righteous decisions.
Who is watching this Christmas season? Better yet - this New Year's Eve. Wait - all of 2010.
