FAITH CAPSULE: God’s eyes are watching while man’s character is not hidden from God.

1 Samuel 2

Character counts before God. Testimonies of God over the life of some men like Abraham, Job and David are the evidence that God’s eyes are watching over all as the bible stated, “Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.” (2 Chronicles 14:2) “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth…” (2 Chronicles 16:9) “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous…” (1 Peter 3:12) Truly, the whole world, the population of man is not beyond God from seeing and spotting out every individual. God does not sleep nor slumber as He sees all.
What are you doing that is hidden from man but open to the eyes of God?
God testified about Abraham stating, “And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.” (James 2:23) Righteousness of Abraham was his action before God. The bible stated that, “For the Lord is the God of knowledge; and by Him actions are weighed.” (1 Samuel 2:3)
How are you doing before God’s eyes?
What we do on earth is what identifies all before God. God testified on behalf of Job in the book of Job 2:3, “Then the LORD said to Satan, ‘Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause.’” God testifying His creation as a man of integrity must have been the result of having walked the walk and having lived the word of God. Besides Abraham and Job, David was referred to as a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14). The same God yesterday, today and tomorrow will not ignore anyone who lives up to His expectation. God is not a partial God but a God who is particular in seeing His creation live in line with His word. How are you living as a picture in the eyes of God? Are you an acclaimed believer that is living life for God to see for His glory? God cannot be deceived but many are lying, deceiving, and manipulating others in the name of God. Many believers today have church but they have no Christ by virtue of the message their life demonstrates.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous. In life, it is certain that God does not look over the righteous way of man as Psalm 34:19 buttressed, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.”  God’s eyes are watching while man’s character is not hidden from God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to listen for His lead and instruction for His glory.
