Ketchie GameCam
Several months ago in our backyard, my husband Tim mounted a trail or “GameCam”. It is a motion- activated camera. As the wildlife cross its sensors, it takes a picture and as long as there is activity it will snap a picture every 2-3 minutes. Tim has been watching this particular deer “Bucky” for a long time and is watching him grow. It’s pretty cool to catch all the wildlife by surprise in their habitat acting like, well, wildlife. Over a weekend there can be up to 70 pictures that include fox, turkey and deer (including an hours old fawn).

Several months ago I decided to closely watch my disciple in the area I placed her. I mounted hidden cameras in her home, school, workplace, and areas she frequented. Every time she made a motion the camera clicked. I have been watching this particular child for sometime as I’m preparing her for something special. I wanted to see how she was living for me, so I placed people in her path so she could witness and to my astonishment, she didn’t. I sent someone her way to serve, and she was selfish. She has a chance to encourage and instead she was prideful. I have pictures of her religiousness at my house of worship, but none of her entering our secret meeting place. There is no motion for Me to detected. She isn’t living for me. I wanted to show many pictures of her living for Me when in Heaven, but for now we'll be saddened by what we see.
If I told her I was watching her every move and had her on film I wonder if she’d live differently. I wonder if then the motion detector would snap hundreds of pictures as she lived for me.
How about you? Would you live differently if you knew your every motion was recorded for all to see? Will you offer your life as a gift to God for His glory?
Hebrews 4:13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. 1 Peter 4:5 but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. Romans 14:12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.

Wow,Karen! This really made me think. We are also being watched by people around us. Do they see Christ in us? Thanks for reminding me of His omnipresence.
