Thankful for God’s Attention!
Scripture reading for May 16th: Job 3-7
Key Scriptures: Job 7:19-20 “Will You never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant? If I have sinned, what have I done to You, O Watcher of men? Why have you made me Your target? Have I become a burden to You? Why do You not pardon my offenses and forgive my sins? For I will soon lie down in the dust; You will search for me, but I will be no more.”
God had allowed Satan to afflict His servant Job with physical loss and emotional attacks. Job knew that God was watching over him, even in his troubles. He knew that he needed God’s care and mercy to pardon his sins. He also recognized that death was near.
Thankful for God’s attention: Our God sees and knows everyone and everything living has His attention. “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:13)
Thankful for God’s Eyes!
Scripture reading for April 27th: 2nd Chronicles 13-16
Key Scriptures: 2nd Chronicles 16:8-9 “Were not the Cushites and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers of chariots and horsemen? Yet when you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand. For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war.”
God, in great love, sent a prophet to help King Asa see and understand his error of relying on a foreign king and army, instead of the Lord. Hopefully Asa would repent and walk with the Lord in victory. King Asa was not sold out in his heart to the Lord and fully committed to Him, so he became angry and put the prophet in prison! He soon lost his health and life!
Thankful that God sees all: “Nothing in all creation is hidden from His (God’s) sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:13)
