The Lord is Watching


The Lord looks down from heaven; He observes everyone. He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth from His dwelling place. He alone shapes their hearts; He considers all their works.
Psalms 33:13‭-‬15 HCSB

For the eyes of Yahweh roam throughout the earth to show Himself strong for those whose hearts are completely His. You have been foolish in this matter. Therefore, you will have wars from now on.”
2 Chronicles 16:9 HCSB

Now, did you know that verse came after what we Christians often repeat? These verses are from a chapter that dealt with king Asa. Asa had sent silver and gold from the treasury in the temple and sent it to king Ben-hadad, who lived in Damascus to bribe him to break his treaty with King Basha of Israel so he would stop attacking Asa.

Complicated! However, the thrust of the matter is: ' why did you not seek the Lord?' Victory with the Lord is far better than any we can decide. It is more permanent and is blessed. The outcome for Asa was continual war instead of peace.

What outcome do you want?
