"Who is watching you?"

In the Bible, Daniel and his friends set an example of being who you are in the Lord
and not being afraid. As I read this story about Daniel, I am reminded what I went
through many times myself. That story a little down the line.

In Daniel chapter 3: tells us about Nebuchadnezzar who made a golden image
and called out every one to come to the dedication of the image which he had
set up.
Then a loud noise was heard saying,"to you it is commanded O people nations and
languages, at the time you hear the music of all kind of instruments playing, you
fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar has set up; and who
ever does not fall down and worship will be cast into the fiery furnace."

Daniel and his friends refused to fall down and worship the idol, and certain people
came and told the king that Daniel and his friends did not follow orders.
The king had them brought to him and told them himself; if they fall down to worship
the image he had set up then; well:! but if they didn't worship then they would be cast
into the furnace at the same hour, and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

Daniel and his friends answered with: If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to
deliver us out of your hand o king. but if not, be it known unto you, o king, that we will not
serve you gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.

Just as some one was watching Daniel and his friends to see what they would do, so some one
is always watching us today. I was watched for over a year by someone as to how I lived.
I remember while working in Portsmouth Hospital in New Hampshire, I experienced a
situation and the Lord gave me such boldness and I was not afraid.

There was this orderly who use to work in the emergency room, I had not seen him for over a year
or so, and one day he came to the emergency room for care for himself, he had lost a leg to diabetes
They brought him to the surgical floor where I worked.
He recognized me and ask me if I was going to be his nurse for the shift. I told him yes. he ask
me to come to his room when I finished my work. I did and he started telling how he had watched me
for over a year just waiting for me to make a mistake so he would feel better about himself,
he was not a christian and was jealous of me

because I always seemed so happy, he said he hated me, 1) because he thought I hated him
because I was from the south and he was black, I can tell you that I set him straight on that.
My mother taught me that God made us all and color was not an issue. I told him that.
He said he use to hate me but now he loved me because I was true to who I was, I didn't go
out with the gang of nurses to bars after work, I went home and fell on my knees and prayed
for the people I had on my prayer list.

He told me about his life and ask me how he could be saved. That night he surrendered himself to
Jesus. I got criticized by other nurses for witnessing and they tried to get me in trouble but it didn't
work, what did work is that this gentleman was saved and God rewarded us both, This man is most
likely with Jesus right now, God protected me from the cruelty of the nurses and God blessed me
with love from my Patience's and other nurses, those two who tried to get me in trouble was the
ones disciplined. God is faithful and watches over us. We should always be careful not to be a stumbling
block for others, we are not perfect, I can surely attest to that but God forgives and we are to continue
being a light that shines for Jesus. As the head nurse talked to me that night about this, I can't tell you
the strength I felt, Jesus was all in me and around me. I was not afraid then and I am not afraid now.
He gave her such sweetness in her talk with me.
Only Jesus can save. He is the only one who gives Eternal Life.
