God Watches Over You

I Peter 3:12 "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil." (Emphasis added, KJV)

Each of us can take hope in the fact that the eyes of God are watching over us on a daily basis.  We can rejoice in the fact that we are NEVER out of the sight of our Heavenly Father.  I can remember my wife telling me to "keep my eyes" on my sons when we would be away from the safety of our home.  We live in the midst of an unsafe world yet we know that the presence and concern of God is with us every moment of every day.  We can rest in the fact that God is aware of our daily activity and knows where we are located at all times.  God has a "Divine GPS" system that watches over His children and fully understands the daily challenges that they are facing.
 
Have you ever faced a battle with discouragement and you had kept that struggle to yourself?  But you received a card in the mail, or a phone call, or an email, or a text message, or even a personal visit that brought encouragement to your life.  That is the evidence of the eyes of the Lord.  Have you ever went to a church service with questions and those questions were answered in the discourse of the Minister's message?  That is the evidence of the eyes of the Lord.  Have you ever felt as though God had forgotten you but in some form or manner God revealed His love to you in a special way?  That is the evidence of the eyes of the Lord.  Always remember that He is watching over you and that He is truly concerned about your well being.  I can personally testify to each of the above mentioned scenarios that I have described.  As a matter of fact each of these were taken from my journey through life and I could mention many more encounters with a special visitation of the Spirit.  Be encouraged today and reminded that God is no respecter of persons.  His love is revealed to all of us and we can walk in the strength of that love.
