Sermon 27: God Is The Witness

When you break one of the Ten Commandments, it is not necessary to get caught to feel bad. Say you stole something. No one saw you do it and no one missed what you stole. There is no way for you to get caught. You are absolutely in the clear. Yet, you feel miserable. Paranoid, like someone’s watching you. Like someone’s judging you. But, it’s not a person you are sensing. It’s God.

Similarly, you can feel really great about doing a good deed even while you’re all by yourself. Even if no one thanked you for it. Even if no one noticed that you did it. Even if you don’t tell anyone else that you did it. So, why are you still so tickled that you did something good? Because you have an automatic witness. It’s God.

God is sharing your journey to Heaven. He shares His lessons over choices that don’t take you in the direction of Heaven. God is our guilt. He also shares His pleasure with us when we are succeeding in fulfilling our purpose. God is our satisfaction.

Knowing that these feelings are something God is experiencing with you will keep Him close in your thoughts. Involving God in your life will make your path easier to bear. You will make the right choices when you realize He’s right there, too. God is our Witness.
