All Eyes Are On You!!!
Believe it or not – someone is watching you! Could be: a neighbor, co-worker, family member, someone that you pass on a regular basis, your favorite waitress or waiter, and this list could continue forever! However, we must realize that because we have made a decision to stand for Christ, our every move is on display. We are daily making an impact on the life of someone. The problem is…..What type of imprint am I stamping in the lives of those who may not know me – but SEE me on a regular basis?
Think about it…. Am I known by my “walk” or my “talk”? Most of us can talk a good game. We have all of the correct answers and responses. But, does my talk outweigh my walk? Does my “dedication” to the Lord end when I leave my church or place of worship? If the people with whom I worship and the people who see me on a regular basis were to compare their notes on me – would they think that they are comparing two entirely different people?
In response to Genesis 4:9, yes – I am my brother’s keeper. It IS my responsibility to be more concerned about the impact that I am making on and in this world. I’ve heard many people say, “Well I’m just being me.” Yes…and that’s the problem. God doesn’t want us to be ourselves – He wants us to: renew our minds (Romans 12:1&2), come out from among the foolishness (II Corinthians 6:17 & 18) and live a lifestyle that is in accord with who He is! Everyone has come out of the closet – except the Christians. God doesn’t need any secret agents or undercover Saints when it comes to taking a stand for Him.
So make a decision to be more conscious about those who are watching you. Don’t air your dirty laundry in public! Be more concerned about being a living example for the Lord – than satisfying your flesh. (Note: fast and pray for the strength to totally eradicate sinful acts!)
Anyone can say, “Lord I love you”. However, are you willing to “Show” that love by slaying the deeds of your flesh (Romans 8:13 & Colossians 3:5) and allowing your daily lifestyle to become the magnet, which will attract the people who are watching you? Believe it or not, All Eyes Are On You!!!!
