A man’s ways are in full view of the Lord, and he
examines all his paths. – Proverbs 5:21
This is a proverb that can either terrify or comfort. Everything we do and think shows up on what
amounts to God’s big screen TV. The Lord
sees all, knows all, observes all, and hears all!
This can terrify us if it means that what shows on the
screen is something we don’t want God to see.
But it can comfort us if we realize that we are never alone. It’s not so much that in God’s eyes we cannot
get away with anything; it’s more that if God’s eye is on the sparrow, we know
he cares for us.
Let’s think about living this day in that perspective –
living and working and conversing under God’s watchful eye. We remember with joy that we are never out of
his sight. God keeps his loving eye on
us – always. What comfort! What inspiration – to make each moment
count. To live each moment with Almighty
God always available to help, to guide, to give us the right words to say –
even to find us when we’ve wandered and are lost.
“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s
sight,” Hebrews 4:13 reminds us. “Everything
is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”
Live each day knowing that the God to whom we must give
account is the One who enables us to give a good account.
