Proverbs 15:3 “The eyes of the Lord are in every place: beholding the evil and the good.”
When I was an adolescent in Sunday School our teacher would always ell us that Jesus was watching and listening to everything we said or did. Even Santa Claus supposedly knows if we’ve been bad or good. Sometimes you may see a patrol car sitting by a straight stretch of highway, but since we don’t know if an officer is in the car or not, we slow down to be safe.
I read a book when I was in the fifth grade that told of a pastor challenging the church body to act as if Jesus was beside them watching how they acted in their day to day lives. They made a tremendous change in the congregation work and even personal life. In His Steps has always been a model for me. In the ‘90’s the same type challenge hit on teens and young Christians—WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) Many young lives were saved and dedicated to His work.
Solomon uses the same warning in this verse—Are you being more careful? Jesus is beside the father asking His forgiveness for the saved that belong to Him—Is Jesus speaking for you?
Lord, we love You today and realize You know our every thought, word, or deed. Help us Lord to stay true to You and to ask You to live in our hearts forever. For Your service we live. Amen.
