But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,Psalms 33:18 (NIV)
Being invisible, we often wonder what God is doing around us. We hope that we are pleasing him. We hope that he is looking down on us with approval and keeping a watch on our lives.
This verse promises that if you fear him (respect his divine power) and hope in his love, then the eyes of the Lord are on you. We might know this in our head, but it is important to meditate on it until it becomes a living reality in our hearts. The eyes of the Lord are on you as you read this. His attention is focused on you.
This may not be so hard to believe during periods of our life when we can easily feel his presence. But are we willing to believe it when we cannot feel his presence? Even when you cannot feel him the eyes of the Lord are on you. This is the encouragement he wants us to believe. He wants us to stamp this on our hearts so that it gives peace and courage in everything we do.
Do you consciously embrace the truth that the eyes of the Lord are on you?
