Jah's Eyes Are Upon You Why does a mum or dad keep a watch on their ? Is it to take a tally of their wrong doings? Is it to be the 'fun police'? Is it to growl at them over every single mistake made? No, it is because they love their and want to care for them and keep them safe and protected. A good parent watches their 's actions, good and bad, focusing on the positive in love and concern, commending them for their good qualities and teaching them what other action may have been made when they do something bad. Just like a good parent, Jehovah God keeps a watch on us. He presents Himself in many Scriptures as a loving Father. Why does He present Himself in this way? It is because He wants us to understand that our connection to Him is like that of a and a loving parent. Since He is our creator, it is a logical representation to us, so that we can understand His great loving concern for us. Unhappily, most people in the world of satan today act as if no 'parent' is keeping a watch over them. Psalm 14:1 The foolish one says in his heart: “There is no Jehovah.” Their actions are corrupt, and their dealings are detestable; No one is doing good. For the most part, people act as if no one sees them, and often another human person doesn't, but they forget or ignore the power of God. Funnily enough, we actually live in a 'big brother' age where there are cameras everywhere and sadly it is precisely because of the age we live in that this is necessary because of the great rise in crime in the world and the wickedness of most people. Even then, most people take little notice of their actions and who may see, thinking they can act with impunity because it is their right 'to be themselves' etc.. 2Timothy 3:1-4 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, Philippians 3:19 Their end is destruction, and their god is their belly, and their glory is really their shame, and they have their minds on earthly things Amazingly, people post very personal information about themselves online for all and sundry to read and then wonder why they can't get jobs or attract unwanted attention. Very 'woolly' thinking indeed. Even if people are concerned because of being 'seen' they certainly don't take into account that it is God who sees them over and above human agencies and they wouldn't care even if they acknowledged that God is watching because they don't think God matters or that He will act. Unlike a human parent or a human agency, Jehovah God sees everything! Psalm 11:4+5 Jehovah is in his holy temple. Jehovah’s throne is in the heavens. His own eyes see, his watchful eyes examine the sons of men. Jehovah examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one; He hates anyone who loves violence. Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of Jehovah are everywhere, watching both the bad and the good. There is no ambiguity in this. God sees all! If we pray in silence we expect Jah to hear. If we died tomorrow we expect Jah to keep us in His memory and resurrect us in the Millennium. We expect that Jah knows 'us' and is able to make us live again as 'us', remembering who we are. The embryo of us is 'down in writing' as it were. In our DNA information, but is that who we actually are. Does this information take into account our upbringing, our experiences, what is in our heart and mind? No, it doesn't, but we expect that God sees and knows all these things about us so that our characters also will be in place in the resurrection. 2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him. How do you feel about God seeing all things about you? Do you feel somehow that it is an invasion of privacy? That we are always under supervision? Does it bother you knowing that cameras may always be taking pictures of you when you go out in public? Not usually, so why would it make anyone feel uncomfortable to know that Jah is watching? Is it because we know that we are doing wrong? Fooling ourselves with 'wooly' thinking and unsound reasonings? Is it not more important that Jehovah God, the maker of all things, is keeping a close eye on His creation? Acts 4:24 “Sovereign Lord, you are the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them, So, why is Jah watching us? It is because He has our best interests at heart. Isaiah 48:17 This is what Jehovah says, your Repurchaser, the Holy One of Israel: “I, Jehovah, am your God, The One teaching you to benefit yourself, the One guiding you in the way you should walk. Jehovah God is interested in us and he is interested in our silent prayers to Him. You could say He is tuned into us. Psalm 65:2 O Hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts will come Wonderful good news for those loving God. The most powerful of all beings is personally interested in me - 'has my back' so to speak - cares for me! Awful bad news for those practising sin in opposition to God. There is no place to hide. Hebrews 4:13 And there is not a creation that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of the one to whom we must give an account. What we need to ask ourselves is:- Does my way of life have Jehovah God's approval? Does it reflect God's standards and principles? Does it reflect the claim I make of being a Christian? Do I look into the mirror of God's Word and then just turn away? Do I allow what I learn to change my heart and mind away from satan's worldly thinking? Do I actually apply what I learn in my day to day life? Would another person truly see that I am different to most people in the world around me? Am I ashamed of what God may see of me in my life. What are my true motives in my day to day dealings, not just with people but also with the rules and laws of the authorities I am subject to in this world? Tough questions! How will we answer? Happily, God is interested in our progress as Christians and He loving helps us through the Kingship of His loving , Jesus Christ, and through the free gift of His Holy Spirit. Will we let Him help us? All we have to do is keep on knocking and asking and applying and acting in harmony with our requests. Matthew 7: 7 “Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you. Are we, however, like a bratty , knocking at the door and then running away? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is it actually easier to stand for Truth or to live in the world of satan's corruption? Is it easier to tell the Truth or to keep on telling lies and having to keep tab constantly of what we have said? Important questions for all of us knowing that God is watching and wants with all His heart for us to reach salvation. Love Katidid. |
