YOU'RE STILL IN SIGHT
“Faith is the gaze of the heart at God it is but the raising of our inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God.” – A.W. Tozer
Pastor Ralph D. West describes a scene when he was a young father: "When my son, Ralph, was a boy, I took him to Toys-R-Us, and he got detached from me. Ralph being my first child, my fatherly instincts caused me to panic. Yet, because I could see the doors, I knew that he had not exited them. Up one corridor, I paced, and down another; around a corridor, around another aisle. Peeping; looking to find him amid a crowd of people in the Christmas rush - but I could not find my son. I found a security guard and I asked him, "Do you have surveillance in the store?" He said, "Yes." I then asked, "Do you have a monitor?" "Yes." "Can I look at the monitor?" "Yes." Can you scan the floor?" "Yes."
The guard began to scan up and down the aisles, and there I saw my son playing with toys, but he was clearly in a state of panic. My son was all by himself among people he did not know. Our first child was feeling lost and alone, and I did not know what to do. I asked the guard, "Do you have an intercom?" He said, "Yes."
I said, "Keep the camera on him." Then I got on the intercom and said, "Ralph." My son looked around because he recognized my voice. I continued, "Stay where you are." He started looking around. "It's Daddy," I said. "Don't move. I see you although you can't see me. Stay where you are. I'm coming."
In those moments, when you think that God cannot see you or that you cannot see God, always remember that God sees you. The invisible hand of God is active and is looking after your life." The Lord is not only watching but He actively is in control. He oversees all our activities both in secret and in the open. Sometimes, you do some certain things thinking nobody sees you and when you come out; you begin to feel you are in control of the situation. You may not have been spotted by man,but there is one man you can never deceive. He is watching.
Beloved, keep your hands clean in everything you do and always remember that God in Heaven audits our dealings. Each time we sin, it is recorded in our audit book in Heaven. Also, he watches over us and protects us when we are in danger; when we think we are in a jam, He is somewhere watching, whispering and directing us through a way out. His eyes are everywhere like an eagle that flies above the sky; its sees from afar what is on ground.
THE TRUE LIGHT: Ezra 5:5
“But the eye of their God was watching over the elders of the Jews, and they were not stopped until a report could go to Darius and his written reply be received.”
Let us pray: Father , thank you for watching over me and my family. Bless my going out and my coming in everyday of my life.
