Still sees it all. Above it and yet close seein'. Never won’t or can’t see. Always can, always holy and yet does see all those He created.
Not like some creepy people often do, but daily He sees you.
Yep, He watches you where you go, He gazes at you when you are in the crowd or all alone, He sees what you say. He sees all the omissions and commissions, He is SO there and has seen it all.. the good and bad from your very first moment. Every day all day and He doesn’t sleep. And why?
Because God loves you so much He just cant take His eyes off of you, believer.
He looks with eyes of the deepest kinda love.
Ain’t mad at you. Nope cuz of the cross, so simply respond to Him on His reasonable terms and then follow close. Discover why that’s so imperative these days.
It takes this ever present, all knowing God of love and justice, this all seeing Lord to help each of us see our greatest need and walk free. It takes His kind Spirit for us to see what’s really so and be victors over all the circumstances. He sees, He loves you, He is there to help.
And it takes a changed person to change a person. Am talking about regeneration and walkin’ with Him, about being used of God to win somebody to Christ.
Jesus never ever taught that the whole world needs to go to church, but rather that His Church needs to go to the whole world. This world of brokenness and hurt not to point a finger of accusation cuz that would be part of the problem, but to become part of the Solution. Go to Him who sees. Go to a healthy church that is sound. Go to God, and then go with Him and His Gospel globally. Let Christ wash, restore, comfort, build up and lead you according to His word... to broken, blind and bewildered people today.
Ideas I've been reading and musing on today from my devotional (thanks David Jeremiah).
"The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good. A gentle tongue with its healing power is a tree of life, but willful contrariness in it breaks down the spirit." Proverbs 15:3-4 amp
Has some bad stuff happened to ya? I hate that when it happens. Did God see it happen? Yes and He knows it was bad cuz bad doesn't become good. He doesn't call bad ...good. But He can sure bring some good out of the bad that's happened to you, believer. He will because you love Him and He loves you -- He's committed to you.
"And we know with great confidence that God who is deeply concerned about us causes all things to work together as a plan for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. For those whom He foreknew and loved and chose beforehand, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son and ultimately share in His complete sanctification, so that He would be the firstborn the most beloved and honored among many believers." Romans 8:28-29 amp
My former pastor, Chuck Smith Sr., over in Costa Mesa of So Cal often said:
“Never trade what you do know for what you don’t know.”
Guess what, he was always smarter than me. So that’s what I’m not gunna do.. trade it in for what I know for sure.
So what is my understanding of this wise statement? I have so much to learn and it seems like I tend to forget a lot of important stuff too -- so what do I know? Well, I know that God loves me, I know I want to keep studying and learning from His word. I know that my son Nathan had prayed to the Lord in a very sincere manner all through his growing up years. And I know that because I put my faith in Christ I’ll be in heaven someday and I will be reunited all my believing loved ones and friends. I don’t know why this happened to Nathan. I don’t know why it’s happened to many others around me. I have loved ones today who are suffering with clots they got right after the vaxx shot and boosters the Governments are pushing.
What can I say to others who may be suffering or had a similar tragedy with a loved one?
I’d say don’t give up. Never. And never trade in what you do know for what you don’t know, because the question for so many people in this world.. is always, Why? or Why me? or Why now?
These questions can haunt you if you let them or they can make you crazy trying to figure out why did all this happen. I really don’t know why it did. But what I do know is that God is 100% good, and God 100% loves me, and that God is working on His perfect plan in my life because I love Him. So, I’m just content with my best Friend today and with this rock solid truth.
Whatever you are going through here, remember this ‘bout it.. Ultimately what happens in our life here, believer, is either done by or allowed by God to happen. Why? Is he cruel? Nope, never has been, never will be. It’s to give us an opportunity for spiritual growth and to make us more like Jesus. What more beautiful a personality in the whole universe is there than Him? Who wouldn’t want to become more like Jesus?
None come close really. God is love. No darkness or selfishness in Him. Never has been. Well, that's His 'end-game'. God is preparing us for Heaven and for Heaven on earth in the millennium. Not that far off. You know there is a location called Hell (bad option, understatement..) that was originally made for puffed-up, fallen a.k.a. selfishly rebellious angels but Heaven is also a real location -- a prepared place for prepared people. God sees you and me, He is close -- so there for you. He is just and kind -- really wants you there one day with Him. I call in my/our real Home.
Does in look bad in your Land.. like it does in my Land? It's too early to quit praying. Watch and pray. God sees. Remember when Rush used to say, "I'll tell you when it's time to panic, and it's not time to panic"? He never would have said it's time to panic cuz who does that really help? Why would he say that?
Well, because there's always time for a living hope, and if you have hope in your heart, you'll figure out how to fight the good fight of faith ..for perhaps for a bit longer here.
Maybe even fight your way out of a really bad situation, Americans. That's happened before. Read our real history. Lord, we know You owe us nothing, but I ask for an authentic revival and a biblical spiritual awakening. Help us repent and believe. Each one. Send em again please. We praise You for meeting our needs here.
“I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn’t change God. It changes me.” – C.S. Lewis
