God Sees and Hears You

“The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry for help.” (Psalm 34:15 CSB)

When I was a little boy, our cook, Mrs. Cox, baked some cookies and put them in a jar on the kitchen counter. When I thought she wasn’t looking, I took one, hid under the table, and ate it. Later, she said to me, “Why did you take a cookie from the jar without asking me?” I said, How did you know?” And she said, “A little yellow bird told me.” I didn’t realize that she had probably seen me take that cookie. If I had known she was watching, I wouldn’t have taken it. There’s a lesson here.

God is ever-present

Knowing that God constantly has his eyes on you helps you stay out of trouble. And if something should happen to you anyway, you can immediately cry to Him for help.

Therefore

“And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” (Heb. 4:13 ESV)

“The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the LORD turns his face against those who do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12 NLT)

“I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer..” (Psalm 120:1 NLT)
