The Watcher

The eyes of the Lord are in every place,

keeping watch on the evil and the good.

(Prov 15:3)

What else do you need to know? God sees. God knows. This is an act of the divine nature which everyone understands by nature: the Creator is everywhere and sees everything.

He sees the evil. This is a terror to the wicked. He sees all they do, even all they think and intend to do. Everything is laid open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Our only move is to confess our sins to a loving Creator and receive mercy by his Son.

He also sees the good. This is an encouragement to believers who do good in secret, as Jesus instructed us. He who sees in secret will reward. It is also a comfort to the afflicted and oppressed. God sees and knows, and he will repay.

Let us trust the God who sees us today.
