God Is Watching

If you believe that God is about your bed and about your path and spies out all your ways, then take care not to do the least thing, not to speak the least word, not to indulge the least thought that you think would offend Him.

(Suppose one of your mortal fellow persons, suppose only a holy man, were to stand by you. Would you not be extremely cautious how you conducted yourself, both in word and action? How much more cautious ought you to be when you know that not a holy man, not an angel of God, but God Himself, the Holy One "that inhabits eternity," is inspecting your heart, your tongue, your hand, every moment.)
--John Wesley

How often ministers and pastors experience this! People apologize to them for cussing or whatever in their presence, yet think nothing of offending the God whom they believe is watching over them to protect them from evil!
