God has His eyes on you!

“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” (2 Chron. 16:9 NKJV)

Have you ever watched little children at play in a public playground? The children will often look up to make sure their parents are looking at them. Every now and then, a child will say, “Look, Mommy! Look, Daddy!” Naturally, the parents are watching because they love and care about their children.

It's wonderful to know that God loves us (John 3:16) and constantly keeps His eyes on us, too!

I know He watches me!

One of my all-time favorite gospel songs, His Eye Is on the Sparrow, was written by Civilla Martin and Charles Gabriel in 1905. The lyrics were inspired by a story in Matthew 10:29, which tells how God knows when a small sparrow falls to the ground, and yet, we are more valuable to Him than they. The chorus is very joyful, and I often have it running through my head.

“I sing because I’m happy.

I sing because I’m free.

For His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.”

Therefore

“But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.” (Psalm 33:18 NIV)
