The All Seeing Eye in The Sky

UV 3647/10000 The All Seeing Eye in The Sky Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him ( and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience), Psalm 33 v 18 Yesterday, I was in a function in which a drone was hovering high overhead, watching the proceedings and the participants from the sky. But in reality, if there was any threat on the ground, the drone could not do anything to prevent it except to alert personnel watching the screen. Unlike that eye, the Lord is our eye in the sky. The Lord looks down upon the earth and sees the hearts of all people. He understands what they think and do. He has determined that even a large army or power like a horse cannot save a man. But, His eyes are upon those who live and express their awe of Him. Those who trust Him fully and rely on Him for salvation in all things. He promises to rescue our lives from death and keep us alive in famine.. ( in place of famine, read, believe and claim). He preserves us in a pandemic like the present Covid 19 one that has taken millions of lives around the world and affected all eight billion people in some way or other. It is interesting that the Psalm says that in proportion to our trust, faith, hope in Him, the Lord releases His love and kindness into our lives. For every human or personal problem, we have a promise from the Lord- even one for famine or pestilence. The only precondition or requisite is that we stay close to Him in each and every circumstance, not stray far from Him or try to hide from His gaze. If we do so, He might momentarily take His gaze off us. We need to examine ourselves every day and check if we are living or walking in accordance with His word and will. Nothing in all creation or in the spiritual world is hidden from the Lord. His gaze penetrates our hearts and minds. He protects us by swooping down like a mother eagle protecting its nest with young in it. Like the young eaglets in the nest we are not able to see Him, sense Him or even be aware that He is watching over us. But unlike these creatures, we are aware in our hearts that the Lord is near and He wards off every threat from every predator in the spiritual and natural world, even the invisible microscopic virus that is now ravaging the world. The heat of His presence, our clothing by the Holy Spirit is sufficient to disinfect us and keep us from being infected or affected. Our faith is the only armour that even microbes cannot penetrate. The word in our mouth is the sword of fire that destroys every threat and releases the proportionate grace of the Lord.
