THE EYE OF GOD
The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. – 2 Chronicles 16:7-14
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope pictures of the Helix Nebula is a remarkable trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases and at its center a dying star that has ejected dust and gas stretching toward the outer rim. The incredible photos of it look like the blue iris of a human eye complete with eyelids, which some have called it the “Eye of God.” 

Even though this isn’t the eye of God, the Scriptures tell about God’s gaze on our lives. The prophet Hanani said, “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9).

Through the prophet Hanani his declaration of God’s all seeing eye was given in response to King Asa’s trust upon Benhadad, king of Syria for military defense. Asa had forgotten that it was the Lord God, not mere soldiers, who had given him past victories over his enemies (2 Chronicles 14:11-12). This spiritual unfaithfulness did not escape the notice of God, who seeks to pour out blessing on acts of respect to Him.

We may not be able to see the eyes of God, but we can be guaranteed that He sees us. His desire is to show Himself strong to those who are devoted to Him with their whole heart. Knowing that He sees us gives both confidence and relief.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

Image
Image via Wikipedia According to statistics we have lost the most in population than any other state. One main reason due to unemployment. Officials here are planning to bring jobs into the area. Just how they have a job on their hands (no pun intended). My life is surrounded by certain events from the time I was born to the present. I was born ten years after Israel became a nation in May 1948. The fig tree was just beginning to bloom. I'm referring to the parable spoken by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24. From the time Israel came into existence, America has gone through changes and one of them is a decline in our culture. In our century alone most biblical prophecy has been fulfilled. The trouble with us now we tend to ignore the consequences. So far, in my lifetime in 1962 the Supreme Court had ordered prayer out of our schools. Our faith is still under fire. California lawyer Michael Newdow sued the U.S. Congress that the phase under God in the Pledge of Allegiance was de
