“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” (Psalm 32:8 NIV)
A few years ago, Susan and I took a short vacation with our daughter and her two, then five-year-old, twin girls. As we walked along together at the busy airport, the girls stayed between their mother and us and they continually looked up to make sure we had our eyes on them. And of course, we did, because we love them! We made sure they knew where to go at all times, and that they we’re always safe.
In the same way
God has “His loving eye” constantly on you. He will “instruct you in the way you should go!” And, that’s a powerful and comforting promise that you can take with you wherever you go!
Therefore…
