Just me trying to be honest with God.

We’re being watched!

“…and watching over the way of his saints.” Pro2.8

The other day Brenda and I were traveling through a car infested park when we met a small child riding by on her bicycle in the oncoming traffic. Brenda exclaimed, “Who, is watching over that child.” You will find a picture of Brenda written next to the word “mother” in the dictionary.
God knows; we all need watching over! And, there is little doubt that He watches over us with the greatest care. If God weren’t invisible we might find a picture of Him in the dictionary next to the word “Father.”
I was praying for someone the other day, wondering about the direction their life was taking. The Holy Spirit assured me that God watches over His own and that every open and closed door is His strategic placement, not only for their good but also for their fruitfulness.
I should thing that one other consideration is important when understanding these words. God does not watch over us because we are saints. We become saints because God is watching over us and He is all the time leading us to Christ. 3/6/2008 ts
