Somebody’s Watching Me

In this day and age, you never know who’s watching you and where. There are cameras mounted in traffic lights, strategically placed along city streets, and even embedded in our personal computers. It’s amazing to see what these hidden cameras have caught on film. And while many of us are concerned about how people see us in the natural world, are we as conscious about how we are seen spiritually?

There was a song back in the ‘80s in which the singer declared, “I always feel like somebody’s watching me.” Truth be told, someone is always watching. Our Heavenly Father is always with us, watching out for us, and watching over us. Above all, our daily goal should be to walk in a way that is pleasing to Him.

Yet we are also being watched by the people around us. When we tell others that we are Christians, we declare our faith in Christ—but our actions provide the evidence. In speaking of his followers, Jesus said, “They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.” (John 17:16) Our spiritual walk separates us from the natural realm. So in times of despair, temptation, and confusion, our behavior should reflect a Godly response.

We should live each day as though we expect someone to play back our spiritual tape. Let’s strive to be caught in the act of Christ-like behavior!
