The Eyes of God

You know the eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch over the wicked and the good.  The wicked on just assumes he is immune, and in his thoughts there is no room for God.  He believes nothing will shake him, and he will always be happy and never have trouble.  He says to himself, "God has forgotten: he covers his face and never sees."

The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord is on His heavenly throne.  He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine the righteous, but the wicked his soul hates.  He will rain fiery coal and burning sulfur on them and a scorching wind will be their destiny.  God loves justice and upright men shall see his face.  He esteems the ones who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at His word.

God has given us everything we need for life and godliness.  For this reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness, knowledge, and to knowledge self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

God's eyes see everything.  But, you might ask, "Isn't that just on man's opinion?".  The bible says that the word of God that men wrote is true, and you would do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.  For the Bible never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

So, you can run, but you can't hide from the eyes of God.  Much more than just seeing your life, He sees and knows the secrets of your heart.  This being factual, you need to turn your eyes and focus on Jesus.  See Him crucified on the cross, doing for you what you can't do for yourself.  Why did Jesus have to do this?  Because the eyes of the Father looked at a world full of sin, and knew His Son must pay the price for our sins.  No one else could do that for you.  So, out of obedience to His Father, and outrageous love for you, He drank deep from the cup which contained our sins and washed us clean as snow and redeemed us by His precious blood.  Can your eyes behold Him there on the cross, crying out, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing." God is love; but He is also just.  So, the next step is up to you.  He is waiting for you, but don't wait too long for His grace and mercy will end the day of our lord arrives and He comes to take His children home.  Then they will see Him through---

"The Eyes of God"

and you will be left behind saying, "Now I see, now I understand".  But it will be too late, because you kept looking through the eyes of the World.  There is another pair of eyes that will see you and welcome you into his everlasting torment.
