be careful, little hands, what you do

There is a song that we sing with the children called "O Be Careful, Little Eyes"


This song makes me think of Exodus 2:11-14 when Moses murders an Egyptian.


Verse 12 says "he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand."


Moses thought that no one would see him kill the Egyptian and it would be a secret. The next day, he discovered that his sin had been made public (v. 14). It appears that someone had seen this!


Secret sins are the hardest to stop doing...because we think no one knows about them. 
We must be aware that SOMEONE is ALWAYS watching. Not only does God see our actions, but others might see, also.


We must pray that we'll be cleansed of our secret sins and that we will discontinue them. (Psalm 19:12)




We also have to be aware of our public actions. We may think something is okay, but we could be sinning or be a stumbling block to others. 


Be careful what you do, where you go, and who you go with!


Here's your challenge: confess secret sins to your congregation, or a trusted, CHRISTIAN friend. It's easier to abstain from sin if a friend holds us accountable. When someone knows specifically what we struggle with, they will know how to help us!

O be careful little eyes what you see

O be careful little eyes what you see

There's a Father up above

And He's looking down in love

So, be careful little eyes what you see

O be careful little ears what you hear

O be careful little ears what you hear

There's a Father up above

And He's looking down in love

So, be careful little ears what you hear

O be careful little hands what you do

O be careful little hands what you do

There's a Father up above

And He's looking down in love

So, be careful little hands what you do

O be careful little feet where you go

O be careful little feet where you go

There's a Father up above

And He's looking down in love

So, be careful little feet where you go

O be careful little mouth what you say

O be careful little mouth what you say

There's a Father up above

And He's looking down in love

So, be careful little mouth what you say
