His Eyes Are On You

His Eyes Are On You

For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.  (  (2 Chronicles 16:9)




It is an amazing thing to serve a God who never snoozes on the job. Our God never sleeps or slumbers.   Taking care of us is what He does.  He tells us not to worry about what we will eat or wear.  The sparrow has no short or long term plans but God keeps His eyes on him.   Not a single one falls to the earth unnoticed because our God is attentive to all of His creation. 

He provides for us each and every day. The lillies are dressed in beauty because He saw fit to dress them that way.   Man, being made in His image is indeed the apple of His eye. And for every strand of hair that falls from your head, He knows.  It's amazes me that things that no one else would want to know about us, God cares about you and me. For all the hairs on our heads are numbered. Matthew 10:30

Our God creatively designed each and every one of us with a unique fingerprint to leave on this world.  He is concerned about all of your affairs. There are times that the pressures of life are pressing, but even then He strengthens the hearts that are committed to Him.  He is our advantage over every hopeless situation because those who trust in Him will never be put to shame.  He makes a way out of no way!  Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life! John 14:6 You've always got a Way! He is the Way!

Are you fully committed to Him?  Our commitment can never begin to touch the surface of His. The heart that belongs to Him is the one that He strengthens time and again.   When we determine to give our hearts to Him we find that it is in the safest place.  Even in the mist of a storm, He has the ability to silence wind and still waves.  When our hearts belong to Him we are truly His responsibility. It is His privilege to fight our battles. Our problems are His problems.

We relinquish all that we have to Him.  There is a great liberty and freedom in belonging to Him. When kindergarten children arrive in the classroom all of their possessions have been named. What would happen if our cars, our houses, our jobs, our bank accounts all belonged to Him?  His reputation is at stake in us because we belong to Him.

 Awhile back one of my children caused an incident that caused damage to the house. I was a tad bit upset but then I remembered that this isn't my house.  Everything I have belongs to God. It humored me that I was getting all worked up over God's house.  I had to apologize to the Lord for claiming His house.

I don't even belong to myself, I belong to God.  I've learned that when you belong to God, He takes care of all we entrust to Him. He will take care of the good as well as the bad. We would spend less time worrying about backbiting and misdeeds if we ever got a revelation of how God takes care of His. The most amazing thing about a heart fully committed to Him is knowing that His eyes are on you!
