Someone’s Listening

"You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.” Exodus 20:16

We were rippin’ into the boss but good and of course he wasn’t there. Or at least that’s what we thought. Turns out our sergeant was standing right behind a half open door listening to every word we had said about him. Boy, there were some red faces in the crowd when he stepped around the corner. His half grin verified he had caught us in our half-truths. We were a little embarrassed but we should have known someone was listening. And if it wasn’t out team leader certainly God was. Every time we breathe a word of insult, gossip, or slander, God hears it all (even when we just think it).
