He Sees Me

"Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy."

Psalm 33:18

I remember when I was a little girl, I always felt more 'safe' when I knew my mom was watching me play outside.  I knew that she would see anything that would hurt me before I did, and she would often prevent such incidences from happening.  At other times, I would fall down and before I could pick myself back up, my mom was there bending down to see if I was OK.  If she saw me heading towards the street, or perhaps a stranger who was walking by, she would call out my name, and I would halt in my tracks, turn her way and heed her warning.  

That's what I thought about this morning as I read this verse in Psalms.  

The eyes of the LORD are always upon me.

Why?

Because I fear Him, I am in awe of Him, and I hope in His mercy alone. 

As an adult, sometimes I feel invisible, unimportant, alone.  This verse reminds me that I am not invisible, I am important, and I am not alone to my Heavenly Father.

He.  Sees.  Me.

What a comforting verse to start out my day...

        I hope it brings comfort to you too...

            But that's just me!

"Nothing escapes God's eyes. He sees everything that occurs in His child's life, and He cares.  They who fear God need not fear anything else; let them fix their eye of faith on Him, and His eye of love will always rest upon them."  Charles Spurgeon
