A preacher once woke a man sleeping on the decking of his house with his bell early in the morning. The man was challenged seeing someone go about, doing God’s work. After sometime, he (the man) saw a woman who was carrying what he assumed to be valuable goods. The woman got to a junction and dropped the load so as to take the remnant.
Before she came, the preacher was already on his way back. When he (the preacher) got to where the woman kept her goods, he stopped jingling his bell and checked to make sure no one is around. Being convinced that no one is watching, he took the goods and attempted to go away with them. Unknown to him was the fact that someone was up there watching.
This is a very sad funny story but we all at one point or the other, find ourselves in this kind of situation. We often look right, left, front and back to be sure no one is watching. Unfortunately, we do not remember to look up or down. Looking down might at least remind us of our death. It might remind us the fact that everything is vanity and nothing more. It could also bring to mind that men are from ground and there will they return.
Up there is an eye that never blinks. An eye that never miss one out of the eighty-six thousand, four hundred(86, 400) seconds in a day. The eye sees, analyzes and record every action of each individual human, simultaneously. It is capable of playing back what had been recorded several millenniums back. Is the fear of such an awesome eye not worth it? When no one is watching…God is!
