SURVEILLANCE

Did you ever have the feeling you were being watched?

We all know that in this day and age it highly possible. With traffic cams, ATM cameras, cell phones and satellites, there are not many places you can go and not be seen by someone or something.  Is this a good or a bad thing? I suppose that there are opposing views on this subject.  One side may say, ‘it is an invasion of my privacy’, while the other side may say, ‘I feel safer’.  Both sides have valid points, yet we all know many crimes have been solved because of different kinds of surveillance devices.  We even put GPS chips in our pets, so they will be found if they become lost.  So, how do you feel about this?

What would you say if I told you that surveillance is nothing new?  Even the 1949 publication of George Orwell’s book, “1984”, talked about big brother watching.  But even before that, there was someone watching. Day in and day out, all night, no matter the weather.  For God so loved the world, that he had been worrying about, grieving for, and had been watching, us.  That is why he sent his Son.

We as parents need to teach our children, that God is not only watching, but knows us.  He will protect his children.  He is our big brother, father, councilor, healer, giver of all things good.  He only wants what is best for us, and wants us to call upon his name.  He knows everything about us, even how many hairs we have, (or don’t have) on our heads.  I find it a great comfort to know that I am being looked after, no matter what!

We as writers, can be a powerful force, like George Orwell’s book written in 1949, and still read today.  Let’s make sure what we write is worth remembering.  Because, the world will be watching!

 

 

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Luke 12: 6
