Remember every act is being watched by the most important audience...God!
Today's Scripture:
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
Proverbs 15:3
Many days offer moments when you are sure that Candid Camera must be taping you. Some days things just go awry, or you may even be the one to go off-kilter. Leaders have their share of opportunities to make innocent mistakes, moral blunders, and ethical compromises. You may have privately experienced moments of decision or emotion that you would not want to share publicly.
Fortunately, every minute of the leader's day is not caught on tape to be scrutinized by others. However, there is a constant audience keeping watch on evil and good alike. So, how do you keep yourself accountable without placing every decision on display for others to judge? Remember that your most important audience is God. He watches your misdeeds and mistakes for sure, but he sees them through a lens of mercy. The great news is that he doesn't limit his viewing to the embarrassing scenes that you would rather forget.
God is not a faultfinder. He is not watching, waiting only for a leader's indiscretion; he also watches for good. He sees you when you take a stand for righteousness.
God sees you when you give a simple compliment to the sometimes-over-looked receptionist.
He sees all the deeds that others in your organization or family and friends may not be able to see. God sees all, and he is admiring your good works too.
Selah people' and friends you should review your bloopers and blunders each day. Look at the hidden camera recordings, viewing as God does with mercy. Correct your mistakes daily, and commend your successes also.
"What was recorded today for you? Good or bad how about tomorrow?"
Your pastor,
Rev Patrick Muston
