God’s Watching

Scripture Ezra 5:5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they could not make them cease till a report could go to Darius. Then a written answer was returned concerning this matter.

Observation: God is watching and looking over us. He will make sure His will is done and there is nothing that can stop it. God directs our path and will remove any obstacles from that path that might stop us from accomplishing His will for our life. There is no surprises to God He knows everything and there is nothing He doesn’t know and there is nothing that He can’t do. God is always with us and if we listen and do what He calls us to do He will make sure that it will happen and remove anything that gets in the way.

Application: I’m probably the biggest obstacle in getting in God’s way. My lack of faith, laziness and focus on myself deters me from doing my best for my Lord. God has given me a testimony, gifts and talents that need to be used for His glory and at times I wish He would just force me into using Him, but He wants an obedient heart more than results. I need to humble myself in His presence and do what He calls me to do.

Prayer: My Lord you know my heart and my desire to please you. Please remove any obstacles, including myself, from accomplishing that. Use the testimony you have blessed me with to touch others in your name and use me to please you. The only result that I desire is that your will would be done and that whatever I do brings a smile on your face.
