"I've Got My Eye on You!"

Fountain Creek Regional Park, Fountain, Colorado

It looks like this Canadian honker is looking straight ahead but in reality it is paying close attention to me.This goose, along with a couple of others, had emerged from behind an old Cottonwood tree and they didn't know whether to share the trail with me or not.

When a goose has its eye on you, you had better be careful. Geese can be quite protective, so it's best to keep your distance. It is no laughing matter to be goosed.

Is that how we view God? Do we somehow think that he has his eye on us so that one day he can "goose" us?

"Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine." Psalm 33:18-19 English Standard Version

The all-seeing eye of God is often used to instill fear in a person's life, but the all-seeing eye of God is meant to comfort us.

Yes, God's eye sees our sin. In his compassion he nailed his Son to a cross to pay for that sin. And through Jesus, the all-seeing eye of God works hope not fear for those who have faith in Christ.

God wants to deliver your soul from death. God desires to keep you alive when you experience famine of body, soul and spirit. For this reason his eye is on you.

Take comfort today that God sees you.  He delivers you.  He keeps you alive.
