A little boy had been attending Sunday school,the children were taught a little chorus,the words went,''Be careful little eyes what you see,there's a Saviour up above, looking down with tender love,Be careful little eye's what you see'.That same little boy was out walking with his father, they were passing an orchard ,so his father said to him,I fancy some apples,keep looking to see if anybody is coming.The little boy appeared uneasy with this,and his father asked him,what's up?,the little boy replied, ''what about looking up dad''.King David wrote ,'I look up toward the hills.From where does my help come ? .My help comes from the Lord,the Creator of heaven and earth'. (Psalm 121 v 1 - 2) . Even the most godly of people can forget that God is looking at us, as to what we do,not like a sentry on duty,who falls asleep ,for we are told God does not sleep ( Ps 121 v 4 ).Yes he is watching you and me,He see's all ,nothing is hid from Him, and we read,'The thing David had done displeased the Lord.'.What did he do ?, he sinned against the Lord, When we have sex outside of marriage we sin,when we commit adultery,we sin,when we murder someone, we sin,when we covet someones wife we sin,when we take God's name in vain,it is a sin.In 1 John 5 v 17 we are told, 'All wrongdoing is sin',not just the gross things,but those things we may consider trivial,no sin is overlooked by a holy God. All sin matters,as John Stott says,''It destroys fellowship with God',and that is very serious,we will continue this ,next time.
