Who's Watching Now?

Recently I had the honor to go to DC, our nation's capitol. It has had a profound effect on my life, in many ways.

I went before many of the team members and had the opportunity to tour and walk and walk and walk ;-) ! My two little eyes took in so much information and so many sights and so very many people. People from every corner of the world was there. This was not always obvious by sight but by their language. "I" was taking it ALL in, as much as I could.
As you stroll through you notice there as you do here or where you are from, that there are those cameras everywhere for traffic, well they have them everywhere in abundance especially around the high profile areas, which by the way, is everywhere you go in DC, almost!

I remember taking many, many pictures, and not of just the monuments and great Architecture in the area, but of some of the people too. I came to realize that I was being captured in pictures also.
As much as I was looking as others I was being looked at, I was being watched. This was kinda weird to realize. But the fact is, is that we are all watched in everything we do. All the time. And guess what,( for those of you older you'll get a kick out of this), it isn't Big Brother!
I have had many come up to me and say, you know, what you did really ministered to me. I basically have no idea of what it was I did, but I thank them for letting me know. Some times they tell me specifically and some times they don't, and really it isn't necessary for them to tell me, because in reality it was a blessing from God.

In all we do, in all we say, in all we don't do, in public, in private, God sees all, he sees everything.
EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! So it isn't just the fact that everything we do all the time is a witness to someone else, we are also being a witness to God. Afterall we are his representatves.
And he is our daddy. And just like the daddy he is, he takes in all we do, watching over us all the time. He cradles us in the palm of his hand when we are hurt. He is grieved by those that do us wrong, he is grieved when we do wrong. Especially in the wrong we do when we think no one is watching. Because HE IS ALWAYS WATCHING!
He watches over us when we bring joy to others and in bringing joy to others we bring that same joy to him and it pleases him so much. When we bless others in secret it makes his heart beat with so much happiness he rejoices and all in heaven rejoices with him.
So next time you are looking around and taking in all the sights and doing the people watching thing, like I do, remember you are being watched too. Your daddy God is always watching after his kids, taking in all they do. In public and private. Remember we can bring him joy or we can bring him grief. What is your choice today?

Blessings~
