TOPIC: SOMEONE IS ALWAYS WATCHING YOU

Text: Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works and glorify your Father in
heaven.

A reporter once said to a famous basketball player, ‘You
always seem to play with the same intensity. You run out
every grounder and race after every ball, even when the
chances of winning is very slim from your team. How come?
‘He replied, ‘I always remind myself that there might be
someone in the stands who never saw me play before.’
That’s the kind of unselfish mindset you must maintain in
order to influence others for good and for God. It takes
energy and intentionality, whether one-on-one or in a group,
but it pays dividends. Nicodemus, a Jewish leader, was
drawn to Christ because he’d listened to His teachings and
observed His works from afar. He may have come to Jesus
at night to avoid ridicule, but the fact is, he came because he
couldn’t stay away! (John 3:1-21).
The Bible says you’re ‘…a letter that anyone can read by just
looking at you…’ (2 Corinthians 3:2). Today someone is
watching how you handle challenges; how you treat your
family and your employees; how you act when the boss is
not around; how you respond to criticism or temptation.
Don’t disappoint them. Jesus said: ‘You are the light of the
world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do
they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a
lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works and glorify your Father in heaven’ (Matthew 5:14-16
NKJV).
