08/30/2018 Act as if someone is watching

I often tell my kids always behave as someone is watching even when they are not.

In today’s gospel from Matthew (24: 42-51) Jesus is telling his disciples about the faithful servant whose master returns and finds him doing what he’s been asked to do.

Jesus says “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household to distribute to them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so. Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property.”

This is a good lesson in our daily lives as well as our spiritual lives. In our daily lives we should act with integrity and honesty in all our dealings. Whether someone is watching or not. In doing so we can expect to eventually be noticed and asked to take on more responsibility.

In our spiritual lives if we will act in the way God expects we will be promoted to His heavenly glory.

Remember someone is always watching… God.
