HAVE you ever noticed what is said about Peter and John in Acts 4:12¹²Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)? In speaking of those who formed the council before whom Peter and John were brought, we read, “They took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus.” There was something about them that told they were His followers.

I came across these verses the other day, and I feel they have a message for you and me.

Somebody has his eyes on you,

Waiting to see if you are true.

Somebody’s watching you today,

Listening to hear just what you say.

Someone will step in the footprints you make—

Be sure that the trail is narrow and straight.

Someone will walk in the pathway you trod—

Will it lead him upward and nearer to God?

You’re helping or hindering — you cannot tell who,

By the things you say and the things that you do.
