Reading – Proverbs 15

Highlight Verse:

“The Lord is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Today I’m thankful that God is always watching out for me.

Santa is not a popular character in our home. The whole idea of some fat old guy in a red suit watching you when you’re sleeping is just a little disturbing.

It’s also a little bit disturbing to think of the fact that all our smart phones and smart speakers are also listening to us all the time.

I’d be bothered by it until I remember that if anyone is listening to me all day, they’re going to be awfully bored.

God is not a stalker or spy. But He is interested in every moment of our lives.

When I was young, I pictured Him as an old judge looking for me to mess up so He could throw the book at me.

God’s primary relationship with us is not a judge but a caring Father. When He looks at His children, it is with eyes of love. He sees our highest potential and every facet of our character.

We may fall short but, when we put on the sacrifice of Jesus, He sees only our best.

If we are willing to follow His leading, He will help us become the best versions of ourselves.

Along the way, He is willing to protect and guide us as we learn the difficult lessons on the path that leads to our best selves.

Are you willing to allow Him to guide you through all the lessons, even the tough ones?
What is the most recent lesson He has brought you through?
