God is Watching

Posted on July 29, 2022 by ruthbillingsley

Psalm 33

Sing joyfully to the Lord,
You righteous and upright.
Praise the Lord with the harp. 
Make music to delight.

Music on the ten-stringed lyre, 
Played skillfully with love.
Sing to Him a new song, 
With shouts of joy above.

The Lord’s word is right and true, 
Faithfulness of great worth.
The Lord loves righteousness. 
His great truth fills the earth.

The Lord’s words made the heavens,
His breath, their starry host.
He sets the sea in place.
Stores the deep, coast to coast.

Let all the earth fear the Lord. 
Let them also revere,
For He spoke. It came to be.
He calls. It will appear.

The Lord can fail  nations’ plans. 
Their purposes are stopped.
But the plans of the Lord 
Always stand, never dropped.

Ever blessed is the nation 
Whose God is the Lord. 
These people, He will choose.
Their birthright, their reward.

From heaven the Lord looks down 
And sees man and his worth.
From His place He watches
All who are on the earth.

He who forms the hearts of all, 
Who regards all they do, 
Through all generations
His heart’s desires shine through.

No king is saved by the size
Of his army of men.
No warrior can escape
By his great strength or pen.

A horse is a man’s vain hope 
For deliverance now.
Despite all its great strength
It cannot save anyhow.

But the eyes of the Lord God
See those who know and fear. 
Who also hope in Him.
His unfailing love, clear.

His love seals and delivers 
From death and famine too. 
We wait in hope for Him 
To help, shield, and rescue.

In Him our hearts will rejoice.
For we trust in His name.
May Your love rest on us
Our hope in You we claim.

The all-seeing God is able to see everyone on earth. This is a sobering thought, yet it is comforting. He has promised, “I am with you always, even to the ends of the world.” ( Matthew 28:20). God is the creator of every man, whether rich or poor, high or low, believer or unbeliever! He knows our hearts, and He considers all of our works. It is wonderful to know that God is watching over us.

He protects us and guides us through life’s many obstacles. “I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” (Psalm 32:8).This morning, as you got out of bed, the eyes of the Lord were watching over you. As you go about your day, the eyes of the Lord are watching over you. He loves with an unfailing love to help us, shield us, and give us hope.

At the end of the psalm we have a sudden shift from talking about God to a prayer to God. “Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, just as we hope in You.” (Psalm 33:22). Place your hope in God. There is no other place to go if you want to find the blessings of joy and peace.
