The Eyes of the Lord
Proverbs Chapter 15
When evil seems to triumph over good in the world around us, or even in our own families, our faith in God's presence and justice can waver.
Here in Proverbs 15:3 Solomon reminds us of a faith-enhancing truth: God is fully aware, every moment, of what is going on in the world he created as well as in the heart of every person (Proverbs 15:11).
No deed or motive, whether good or evil, escapes his notice. For those whose sin is covered by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ this is good news indeed.
Not only is God diligently keeping loving watch over us, but he is keeping tabs on those who have rejected him. While he wants every person to bow in repentance and become his own (2 Peter 3:9), we have his word that those who have no regard for his ways will be dealt with justly and those who love him will be blessed (2 Th. 2:10-17; Rev 21:6-8).
Dear Lord,
As we go out this week may we be reminded that you are watching our every thought and action. Helps us oh Lord to be careful of the good and evil that is around us. Let us be mindful of what comes in and and what goes out. Thank you Lord for your might and protection over our lives.
Amen
