The watch word is watch. So watch out! Better still watch Him!
United In Him
Help us stay in You and keep our eyes on You.
Help us speak and do as You teach us to.
Keep us marching for what's right.
Keep us fighting the good fight.
Hand in hand with You and each other.
Loving You and one another.
Lord fill us with Your light.
With Your power and Your might.
Use us to push back the darkness everywhere.
Unite us in You, our cause, our prayers.
That all the world may see Thee.
And know You cover us and set us free.
I'm Watching You
We never know who is watching us. Especially with all the satellite technology in the world. As a nation we are being watched by other nations. They look to see who we are, what we are doing, if we are honest and more. We the people watch our leaders we look at who they are, what they are doing, if they are honest and more. Even in our own homes our children watch us to see who we are, what we are doing, and if we are honest and more. We look at our children and spouses. At who they are, what they are doing, if they are honest and more. We watch our neighbors the checking out the same things. We watch our church family checking out the same things. Non Christians watch Christians to discover the same things and more. Hopefully as they watch they will see God and be drawn to Him. Ah but here is a difference. Our children also watch to learn about who they are, and we pray they learn what they should be doing, and we pray they will see honesty and embrace it as part of their lives. I too am watching like everyone else. But I like all who accept Jesus, watch Him to see who I am, what I should be doing, for an example of honesty and more. What and who we watch and listen to influences each one of us greatly! It really makes me want to be careful of books, movies, music, and more. And to top it all off God is watching us! He knows who we are and He watches us live it. He knows what we are doing and He watches us as we use our free will. He knows if we are honest and He watches our hearts and hears our words and knows our thoughts and more! Jesus once said, "What could you not watch with Me one hour?" Matthew26:40 When I read it it is almost like He is saying, "Cant you stay awake and pay attention for a while?" Well in my case it is more like "cant you watch me and pay attention to what you are doing and saying?" I want to grow up to be like my Heavenly Father. But I cant do it if I don't watch Him and practice talking like Him and walking like Him. When it comes to watching Him I am reminded. "Watch and pray, lest I fall into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41
The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Matthew 6:22-23
