April 25
The God we serve is all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, all-loving. If He were not, it would be a bit disconcerting to know, “The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God” Psalm 14:2. If He didn’t know us and desire to do us good with His great power because He loves us, it would be terrifying to realize that He sees us all the time!
Yet we who believe are sure in the depth of our soul that God is a loving Father whose great desire is to bless us and to lift us to higher and ever higher planes of loving and serving Him. We take great comfort in the words of the Prophet Jeremiah in Lamentations 3:25, “The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the ones who seek Him.”
When we see Jesus, the God/Man who left His throne in Heaven to walk among us, to demonstrate the Father’s love through His kindness, His healing, His wisdom, His miracles, we cannot help but be moved toward faith in Him and peace in the knowledge that His eye is ever upon us. He is not spying on us to catch us in a fault; no! His purpose is to bless us! Jesus gives us further words of assurance in Matthew 10:29-31.
He says, “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father. The very hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not, therefore, for you are of much more value than many sparrows.” The God who sees you and knows you desires to use His power to do you good because He loves you. His Word is replete with assurance that His watch care over you is your blessing.
