He's Watching
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good -

In this age of electronics, we have all become aware of bugging devices. A person's office, hotel room, telephone and now the bank ATM's can be monitored so that every sound is picked up. This is accomplished through highly sensitive microphones that are so small they can easily be hidden. Heads of state, government official and business people in strategic positions must be exceedingly careful of what they say, especially when entering a strange setting. The awareness that they might be overheard is sure to make them think twice before they speak.
Did you ever stop to think that God sees everything we do and hears everything we say, every moment of the day? Hebrews 4:13 says that "All things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." This truth is both comforting and sobering - comforting because God stands ready to deliver us and sobering because the eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good (Proverbs 15:3). What a profound effect this should have on the way we live.
Dear friends, next time if you are tempted or in trouble, remember that God is watching and listening.
"There is no time of day or night,
No place on land or sea
That God, whose eye is never dim,
Does not see you and me"
