Cheer squad

by Bruce Wadd

Here in Australia we have an interesting advertising campaign.

“No, Gary, No!” chants the cheer squad. Gary, standing with two of his friends, has just gone to lunch from his office building.

Stopping at the steps outside the skyscraper, one of Gary’s friends pulls out a cigarette and offers it to Gary. At this point, the cheer squad launches into its conscience-twigging song, reminding their target of his previous commitment to quit smoking.

I wonder how differently you would behave if a squad of people followed you around, eavesdropping every moment of decision or temptation, with a reminder of a previous agreement between yourself and God?

Would you do life differently?

Whether you like it or not, aware of it or not, God is watching. He knows!

When are you going to live like He’s watching?

Here’s Paul’s perspective…

“… all these pioneers who blazed the way,

all these veterans cheering us on?

It means we’d better get on with it!”

Hebrews 12:1

TODAY, listen to the cheer squad… they are there to support!
