When I have sounded out my father sometime tomorrow, or the third day, and indeed there is good toward David, and I do not send to you and tell you, <\/p>\n<p>Observation: We sometimes forget that God sees and knows all, if we did we wouldn\u2019t do some of the things that we do.  God is our witness, when we tell someone we will do something God is there, when we say we will be faithful to our wife, but aren\u2019t God is there, when we steal or slack off on our job, God sees, when our eyes look upon things we know we shouldn\u2019t God knows.  There is nothing we do that God isn\u2019t there.  At the same time when we help someone in need, give of our time to God\u2019s work, share with others about the love of our God, and do the will of our Father He sees and stores up rewards for us in Heaven.  There isn\u2019t anything He doesn\u2019t know about.<\/p>\n<p>Application: Live my life as God is right next to me, which He is.  Don\u2019t do anything that would make God shake His head in disappointment but use the time God has blessed me with in ways that I can turn to my side and look into His face and see Him smile at me.  Live this life in a way that I see many more smiles then looks of disappointment in my Father\u2019s eyes.  I might feel alone at times, but I never am, He is my witness in all that I do.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  Dear father thank you for always being there.  You know how my mind wanders and my heart gets cold at times.  May I never forget, not even for a moment that you are there and know everything that I\u2019m going through.  I need you always to guide me may I do something each day that brings a smile to your face and that you may say you are pleased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture 1 Sam 20:12 Then Jonathan said to David: &#8220;The LORD God of Israel is witness!
