Bible Reading: Psalm 34
Key Verse: Verse 15 - “The
eyes of the LORD are upon the
righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.”
Key Words:The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous
Have you ever
really considered the fact that God is constantly watching you? There is a great illustration of this told by
the English evangelist Henry Moorehouse, who is now with the Lord.
“Weeks ago I
went into the library in Covington. As I
was approaching the door it looked dark inside..and I wondered, “Why are they
closed? They are supposed to be open.” I got real close to the door and I could
faintly see movement inside…so I tried the door and went on in. It just so happened, that they had finished
putting some of this dark film on the windows and doors that only allows you to
see through one way. The effect of this
reflective covering was that I was able to look outside and see everything, but
people outside the building were unable to look in. In much the same way, we don’t always realize
that God is watching us. As I walked up
the walk to the library, the librarian saw me walking towards the building, but
I couldn’t see her. When Scripture tells
us God’s eyes are upon us, we know that God sees us even though we cannot see
Him. Yet we often act as if we are
behind reflective windows and God is unable to notice us. We should know, however, that God is always
observing us and that nothing escapes His attention. He sees and hears us. He is patiently waiting for us to come to him
with our prayers and petitions. As David
says, “The eyes of the LORD are upon the
righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.” [Psalm 34:15] Even though we cannot see God, we know He
sees us. And even though we do not hear
an angelic voice from heaven, we know that God answers our prayers.”
It is only
comforting to know you are being watched by God when you are doing right.
What to do:
✞Do right. The eyes of the Lord are watching.
✞Write down a list of
things you would like to accomplish
today for the Lord.
✞Treat others today the way you want to be treated.
