"The
Eyes Of The
Lord"
Message
summary: Once
again we
reaffirm our
commitment to
live for Jesus
and stand for
His righteous
cause with

completely
surrendered to
His plan.
Wherever you
are, whatever
you're doing,
and whatever
you're going
through, we
ask you to
join us in
making this
commitment.

"For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His" (2 Chronicles 16:9).
The
eyes of God
are upon me,
He sees everything I do.
The arms of God are around me,
They keep me safe and secure.
He sees everything I do.
The arms of God are around me,
They keep me safe and secure.
The daily Scripture text gives great assurance to God's children of all generations: "For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His." Amazingly, God is watching over us right now. It's true wherever you live! His omnipresence is most reassuring when we feel as though we're all alone in this world. The fact is, we are not!
His eyes "move to and fro throughout the earth". Psalm 34:15 has a similar thought which the apostle Peter quotes, "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayer" (1 Peter 3:12).
There is purposefulness in God's watching over us. He does so "that He may strongly support" those who look to Him for guidance, protection, wisdom, healing, and on and on the list goes. I sure do need that strong support today, don't you? I am thankful that God's strong support and His strength is absolutely adequate for any need that I present to Him.
There is a responsibility we have however. He is looking for "those whose heart is completely His". Another version states "those whose hearts are fully committed to Him".
Once again we reaffirm our commitment to live for Jesus and stand for His righteous cause with hearts completely surrendered to His plan. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, and whatever you're going through, we ask you to join us in making this commitment.
And
He knows where
I am
Every hour of every day
He knows each thought I think
He knows each word that I might say.
And although there were times
I've been out of His will
I've never been out of His care.
Every hour of every day
He knows each thought I think
He knows each word that I might say.
And although there were times
I've been out of His will
I've never been out of His care.
Be
encouraged
today,
Hebrews
3:13

Daily prayer:
Heavenly
Father, though
we cannot see
You in the
heavenly
kingdom, Your
eyes are upon
us we walk the
pilgrim
pathway. You
guide us
through this
earthly maze
of sudden
turns, strange
territory, and
even the
disappointing
dead ends.
Through we may
be jostled
from time to
time in the
midst of
finding our
way we are
assured that
You watch over
us; our going
in and our
coming out.
You know our
heart's cry
and You
strengthen us
as we choose
to walk the
path of
righteousness.
Our hearts are
completely
surrendered to
You so we look
to You, our
Father, for
our spiritual,
physical,
emotional and
financial
needs. Your
continuous
spiritual
presence
brings sweet
fellowship to
our soul.
Amen.
Special
announcement:
We
have often
written of our
friendship
with the Lapp
family, who
are Amish.
Today Jesse is
coming over to
lay brick on
one side of
our new house
addition. He
is an
experienced
stonemason,
which was what
he did when I
first met him
over 20 years
ago.
The
Lapp family
now operate
the Old
Windmill Farm
which, over
the last
several years,
has become a
very popular
tourist
attraction
here in
Lancaster
County, being
an authentic
working Amish
farm.
Jesse
has begun a
blog titled "Life
On The Old
Windmill Farm"
chronicling
life on the
farm.
His next post
will be a
description of
an Amish
church service
which was
hosted on the
farm this last
Sunday.
You
can read the
introductory
blog post here
or sign
up to receive
an email
every 2-3
weeks. We will
publish the
post on the
church service
tomorrow.
