Not as things appear…

I have been thinking a great deal of late about how as men of God our actions are perceived by those who observe our actions from a distance and I keep having this thought come to mind:

“Satan saw me on my knees, with my head bowed low. He heard me speaking softly and weeping. He thought I had finally been beaten into submission. His thought was ‘I have finally beaten this one.’ Then I stood up, squared my shoulders, resettled my armor and said AMEN!”

Do the actions that others observe in us, truly reflect the strength of our core convictions? If not, why not?
