City On A Hill

It was early Monday morning and I was having one of those days already. I was tired from staying up late; fighting a cold and school was the last place I wanted to be. I could sense that I was being short and not too friendly to anyone, but I did not really care I was just in one of those moods. I was patrolling the hallways moving students along to class when I kept noticing signs hanging the number 514. I did not really think about it, our hallways have things hanging all over. Finally while exiting the second floor there was that sign again I was walking right towards it and could not help but read it. It was a sign for a new bible club in our school. It was called Club 514. The 514 was in reference to Matthew 5:14 which reads, "ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid."
Wow! How I needed to be reminded of that. It is easy sometimes to forget that as a follower of Christ we are to carry ourselves a certain way. As Christians we are like that city on a hill, everything we do is seen and magnified at times. My entire drive to school I keep telling myself I was going to hid out and keep to myself, but God makes our plans. His plans for this day were for me to venture out of my office and see that sign!
