Proverbs Chapter 15
(Pro 15:3) The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. As soon as I read this verse, my mind went back to Moses. He looked this way, and looked that way, and when he was convinced that no one was looking, he killed an Egyptian. Wasn’t long after that the one that saw it confronted him. We never know when someone is watching us. Who is watching you? Is it the neighbor next door, the coworker, the family member, or even our spouse? But let’s say that no one human is watching. GOD IS! There is never a time when you are not being watched.
There is a verse in Hebrews that people quatoe all the time as a verse of comfort. (Heb 13:5) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Isn’t that sweet? He said he would never leave us! This verse is a warning to live right because he sees all things.
The flip side of the verse here in Proverbs is that he see are good also. We sometimes wonder if anyone takes notice when we do our good deeds. It reminds me of George on Seinfeld, where he goes to tip the pizza man at the store, and just when he is going to drop the dollar in the tip jar, the man looks the other way. George feeling he won’t get the recognition for the tip, reaches back in in order to re-give while the guy is watching. Just as he reaches in the man looks back and thinks he is stealing and kicks him out.
If I don’t get credit for my good deeds, it’s ok. GOD”S EYES ARE IN EVERY PLACE!
