You’re Being Watched

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses… let us run with patience the race that is set before us… —Hebrews 12:1

A professional football player’s team was having a terrible season, losing week after week. A reporter asked him how he stayed motivated to play hard and give his best even though his team lost almost every game. He responded, “My dad is watching that game. My mom is watching that game. You better believe I’m going to do my best!” He recognized that there was more at stake than just winning or losing. People were watching, and that reality always drove him to do his best.

People are watching you and I. The question is, What do they see?

Even more important, God is watching us. Is He pleased in what He sees?
