His Eyes are Upon You

"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." (2 Chronicles 16:9)

Do you ever stop to think that God's eyes are upon you?

"But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love." (Psalm 33:18)

"The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry." (Psalm 34:15)

I don't know your situation or circumstances today, but what I do know is that God's eyes are upon you. You may be thinking that God doesn't see what you are going through or that He has turned a deaf ear to your prayers. However, if you know Him, He has not forgotten you.

I want you to take some time today and consider all that God has done to give you security in this life. Sure...this is a walk of faith, but God wants your faith to be anchored in something.

1) He has made you acceptable!

- Because of His grace you are righteous, holy, and blameless in His sight. Jesus' blood was enough to cleanse you from sin. God did a good job saving you and if that wasn't enough, He gives you the ability and power you need to follow after Him. He has taken the weight of carrying this thing on your own away from you.

2) He has given you His Word!

- God's Word is filled with precious promises to those who follow after Him. We also discover the nature and character of God as we read these pages. Whatever His Word says is TRUTH and you can hope in it, build your life upon it, and claim it as your own by faith. The Bible isn't given to you just to make you knowledgeable. You can trust in His Word.

3) He has placed His Spirit within you as a guarantee!

- Isn't that an awesome thought? If you ever get to a place where you doubt that the Lord is really with you, His Spirit will begin to testify in your spirit who you are and to whom you belong. Jesus told His disciples that He would not leave them without comfort. The Spirit of God is the Comforter in your life. Never underestimate this awesome gift!

4) God has also confirmed things through His creation!

- Jesus told us to look at the lilies of the field and the sparrows in the air. It is in the testimony of God's creation that we see God's care is available to us as well. "Are you not of more value than these?" The birds of the air have food, and the flowers in the field are well taken care of. How much more will God do for you?

The purpose of sharing all of these things isn't to expound on them individually but to give you encouragement. I want you to take note of some things that God has already done.
Be encouraged in the sacrifice of Jesus!
Be encouraged by the Word of God!
Be encouraged in the Holy Spirit!
Be encouraged by His creation!
Know that His eyes are upon you and that His ear is attentive. God wants nothing more than to show Himself strong in your life! You can trust Him. You can trust Him. You CAN trust Him!!!
