I can see what you are doing... even if you think no one else will notice

During service, I sat at the first row of the slope nearest to where the choir platform was. And lo and below, there was these two guys seated in the last two seats 3rd row on the floor area that were very distracting. (cuz they were directly in front of me.) Oh well, since they were spotted with the smiley face sticker - i figure that they ought not to be NEW. Throughout the service, these two guys either don't understand the language being spoken by Pastor or they were simply not interested. (One of them should be a believer at least, but the bible that he jokingly showed the other guy was just the NT and in chinese. - hence i was wondering, are they in the right service, but then again, they are wearing the smiley face sticker.. )

Other distracting  and disrespectful antics (that peeve me cuz they were not giving the due respect to Pastor, who was preaching despite on the verge of losing his voice) include chatting among themselves, fiddling with mobile phone - no doesn't seemed like he was using the e-bible in phone..), trying to clap different "styles" - such as like what a  monkey/chimpanze would; alternating directions, and apparently, entertaining themselves and not really giving a clap offering. (I was darned peeved @ the disrespectful behaviour displayed.. i guessed these two chaps should be still sec-sch going - if i was seating in front /next to them, would ask them not to monkey ard)..

One of them then reached his hand into the bag of the other and fish out something sneakily and quickly and popped into his mouth. the other did the same and started munching.. (should be some junk snacks..) and they grinned at each other - as if very pleased with themselves that noone knows that they are snacking in the middle of the service..  and the sly grin on the chap's face amused me - cuz I saw everything..

Then this struck me even if no man sees what you are doing, God sees.  This chap, is happy that he thought he managed to pull a stunt like stealing a bite without anyone noticing.. yet there is one human being who saw the act. Not to mention God. (and perhaps Pastor did too.. cuz .. u can see almost what everyone's doing when u are on the stage, especially when you are the odd one doing what others aren't doing... ) And read someone's status that he/she doesn't want to lie to God about his/her situation.  We don't really need to lie to our Creator how we feel - He knows.. I guess the only party being lied to -is him-/herself. So yeah, we need to face up to reality cuz it's pretty pointless to paint up a facade to God Himself.
