“But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.” Psalm 33:18-19
Isn’t it great to know that God is watching us, all the time? To some people this would make them very uncomfortable, knowing that God sees everything they do and hears everything they say. But if we know Him, if we are one of those who have placed our hope in His unfailing love, this is a comforting thing. God isn’t watching us in order to strike us down at the moment that we slip up and sin. He’s watching us for protection, and because He delights in us.
What does it mean that our hope is in His unfailing love? It was God’s love for us that led to Jesus dying on the cross for our sin, providing salvation for anyone who would come to Him in repentance. We have hope – looking forward to a future certainty – in spending eternity with Him. As the saying goes, ‘God loves you so much, He can’t take His eyes off you.’ I’m glad that He is watching over me. After all, He is in control of all things. If He is looking out for me, it means that nothing can happen to me that He hasn’t allowed.
