He Sees Me

For a man’s ways are before the Lord ’s eyes, and He considers all his paths.
Proverbs 5:21 HCSB

This scripture comes in the middle of a warning to a son not to pursue a loose woman but to be satisfied with His wife. However, this scripture tells it all. My life and my paths are before the Lord. In big business we are lost in the crowd, in a city we are but a speck. However, before rhe Lord Almighty we are significant.

Therefore, if God sees all and cares about my movements, what shall I do today? Obviously nothing that would consume me with lust or desires for things that are not for me.

Even as a dedicated Christian we can have ideas about how our lives should turn out. We might think, 'Now if I had a lot of money I would help these people here I would do that there,' and before we know it we have bought a lottery ticket to help God out. I have done this. Yet I discovered that wanting to use Mammon's tool was walking into Mammon's path, not God's.

It is important we let God be God and walk according to His way. Yes things might be a little slow, but He knows why it is slow. Our character may not be ready, the character of others may not be ready to receive. It is important we allow God to be God and not to try and play God. Amen!
