THEY'RE WATCHING
Today's reading: Leviticus 15, Mark 2:13-3:35, Psalm 40:9-17

"Jesus went into the synagogue again and noticed a man with a deformed hand. Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus' enemies watched him closely. Would he heal the man's hand on the Sabbath? If he did, they planned to condemn him." Mark 3:1-2 NLT

It's Sunday, and they're watching.

The neighbors to see that you are on time to leave for church...

The gas station attendant as you pull in and fill up the tank on the way to the Lord's house...

The drive-thru employee who hands you your breakfast sandwich on your way to church...

The ones you leave at home, who don't go with you, who choose to stay behind...

They're all watching.

Let them see you excited about worship, ready to be in the Lord's presence, anticipating the Holy Spirit showing up in your service.

Let them hear kindness in your voice as you prepare to serve your Lord in your various ministries, no matter how rushed your Sunday morning is, how slow everyone else is moving or how late you might be running.

Let them see a smile on your face as you are allowed the privilege of worshiping. Not a grimace. Not a cut-and-paste grin. Not a frown of dissatisfaction. A genuine, from the heart smile.

It's Sunday, and they're watching!
