"Please return practice balls here after each practice session" This is the sign on the Australian Open court scheduling desk. I really do not know what they intend to do with the used balls. My understanding is not important, what is important is my obedience. I am sure that they have a good reason to have four signs posted prominently on that desk.
You are judged by all (adults, children, players, fans, administrators, staff) who observe you in not only on what you do in small matters but also the big matters. For everyone, but especially for a Christian believer who desires to be a living witness to others you must have a conscious when you know that you have done something against any rule. No doubt as stated Biblically, A person who is faithful in the small matters will be faithful in the large matters and God rewards those who are just. (Matthew 25:21)
Do you take towels from the tournament when they have prohibited it? Do you use a credential to access areas that you are not allowed? If you know that a rule exists from the authorities; who are placed above you by God - obey them and ask in good conscious to allow what you intend to do. God either opens or closes that door for His own purposes.
Seems like a great way to live life, knowing that you have done the right thing and being humble in your dealings with others.
