Daily Devotion for March 2--His Eye Is Upon Us

March 2

Psalm 33:18-19

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

Do you ever feel that God is far away from you?  Do you feel sometimes like you are just drifting along with no real purpose?  Do you wonder how some days you even manage to survive?  We can look at these verses to know that God is always watching us and that He will always provide for us.

God's perspective is very different from ours.  He can see to the end of the journey.  He knows every single thing that lies ahead.  Verse 19 says that He will deliver our soul from death.  Think about that...God loves us so much that He protects us when we can't protect ourselves.  He provides for us when we are in need---whatever that need may be.

Often we don't understand what our trials are for.  We can't see their purpose.  But God not only knows the purpose but He also prepare us for what is ahead.  Many times once we get to the other side of the trial, we can absolutely see God's hand in the process.  Then it is quite possible that God will allow you to help someone else who faces a similar trial.  He knows all.  He is in control of all.
He sees us and He protects us.

As we go through the day, let us remember that God is not only watching us but He is also holding us in His hand!!
