LOOK!
MOVE your mouse and watch the EYES follow it.
Do you realize that GOD is always watching YOU?
Why does the Lord watch you all the time?
Because He loves you so much He can't take His eyes off of you!
The Bible says,
"Thou God seest me."
That is from Genesis 16:13
in the old King James Version.
The New King James Version translates the entire verse this way:
"Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, 'Have I also here seen Him who sees me?'
Nothing escapes God's notice.
He is all wise and everywhere present.
He is watching you right now.
Listen to the way Psalm 33:13-14 describes God's view of everyone.
"The LORD looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth."
Proverbs 15:3 also teaches this.
"The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
Keeping watch on the evil and the good."
If you don't belong to Him, it should cause you to fear.
If you do belong to Him because you are in Jesus, it should give you comfort.
Notice what Psalm 33:18 says about those who fear the Lord and trust in Him.
"Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy."
The eye of God is upon His people who have confessed His Son Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Isaiah 62:5b
"And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So shall your God rejoice over you."
The eye of God is on us, as the eye of a groom is on his bride when she comes down the aisle on their wedding day.
A man who was about to steal something looked behind him, then looked to each side, and back again in front to see if anyone was watching. His little boy said, "Daddy, you forgot to look in one direction."
The father grumbled, "No, I looked all around. No one is watching."
His son said, "You failed to look UP. God is watching."
The boy was right, but the Heavenly Father watches His own beloved children differently. He watches them, because he loves them.
Listen to the comforting words of the old Heidelberg Catechism.
"Question: What is your only comfort in life and in death?
Answer: I do not belong to myself, but I belong to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ."
