The Eyes of God

I have been thinking about the fabulous verse from a psalm of David today:

Psalm 27:4

One thing I have desired of the Lord,

That will I seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord

All the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the Lord,

And to inquire in His temple.

We have the delight of beholding the beauty of the Lord for eternity – what a prospect! Maybe we will see some things about His eyes. Here is what we know so far:

Ps. 33:18       His eyes are on all those who fear Him

Ps. 34:15       His eyes are on the righteous

Ps. 66:7         His eyes are on the nations

Ps. 11:4         His eyes examine us all (Pr. 5:21)

Pr. 15:3          His eyes see everything

Zech. 4:10      His eyes search throughout the earth (1Chr. 16:9)

Zech. 12:4      His eyes watch over Judah (praise)

Pr. 22:12        His eyes watch over knowledge

Ps. 32:8          He guides you with His eye

Ps. 33:18        He guards you with His eye 

No matter what you are going through right now - the Lord sees and understands. Nothing escapes His attention. He can see every detail - even the hidden shame and broken places of your heart. He is not looking at you to judge you - He is looking at you to guide and protect you. You are the apple (pupil) of His eye - the part of the eye that is guarded at all cost.

People see what you do

God sees why you do it

God is never

Blind to your tears

Deaf to your prayers

Silent to your pain
