A father and son were driving down a country road and saw a watermelon patch a little way off the highway. The father said to the boy, “Keep a lookout here while I go get us a melon.” He snuck into the patch, lifted a choice melon from the vine, and then called to the boy, “Is anyone coming? Look both ways.” The little fellow wisely responded, “But Daddy, shouldn’t we look up too?”

Why do people think they can get away with something just because they hid it from others? Aren’t we forgetting that there is One who sees and hears all we do and say? Perhaps we really aren’t thinking the right way.

“O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You…are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether” (Psalm 139:1-4).

Meditate on this today.
