Read: Psalm 33:13-22
From the place of His dwelling He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth. —Psalm 33:14
Bible in a year:
Psalms 33-34; Acts 24
Psalms 33-34; Acts 24
From my home in Colorado, I recently used Google Maps to
“wander around” the neighborhood in Nairobi, Kenya, where my family
lived 2 decades ago. A satellite image on my computer screen enabled me
to identify roads, landmarks, and buildings. In some cases, I got a
street-level view, as if I were standing on the ground there.
It was quite a view, but only a small taste of how the Lord must see our world.
The psalmist celebrated God’s view by writing these words: “The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. . . . He considers all their works. . . . The eye of the Lord
is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver
their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine” (33:13-19).
Unlike an unfeeling satellite, the Lord sees with His heart of love
as He considers who we are and what we do. The Bible reveals that He
longs for us to trust Him and follow His way.
We are never out of God’s
sight, and He keeps a close eye on everyone whose hope is in Him.
For all who know the Lord through faith in Jesus Christ, it’s
encouraging to realize that every day we’re part of His amazing view.
Beneath His watchful eye
His saints securely dwell;
That hand which bears all nature up
Shall guard His children well. —Doddridge
His saints securely dwell;
That hand which bears all nature up
Shall guard His children well. —Doddridge
Keep your eyes on God; He never takes His eyes off you.
