GOD'S WATCHFUL EYE
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are
attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who
do evil. (1Peter 3:12)
Many years back, when my son Paul was quite young, my husband sent a message to one of the Evangelists through him. He asked him to bring back a reply from him. Paul took his bicycle and went to that house.
He knocked the door of that house around 7.30 in the morning. But the door did not open. He kept on knocking. Then one of the neighbours said, “Why are you simply knocking? They will never get up before 8’o clock.”
What do the neighbours say about you and your family?
The Scripture says, “Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body” (Philippians 3:21). In the above mentioned Scripture verse, God Himself has promised to transform our lowly bodies into His glorious body. So plead with Him to transform you today. The Bible says, “For everyone who asks receives” (Matthew 7:7,8). He will surely answer your prayer.
You must seek the Lord as a family early in the morning. This is what God has graciously taught us to do in our family. Every day, we will have our family prayer at 6’o clock in the morning. That is why God has blessed us in an abundant measure. When you seek the Lord in this fashion, He will bless you also.
What did Lord Jesus tell His disciples?
He said, “I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about” (Acts 1:4).
The disciples of Lord Jesus were gripped by fear. They were wondering as to what would happen to them after His death. They were very much worried about their future. So they were sitting in a room with all doors closed fearing as to what would happen to them. It was at that moment Lord Jesus appeared before them and said, “Peace be unto you.”
Today, are you worried about your future? The Lord will surely remove all your fears and anxieties and bless you with His strength. Then you will be able to lead a witnessing life for Him (Acts 1:8). The Bible discloses, “For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him” (II Chronicles 16:9). According to the above mentioned Scripture verse, the Lord is very much concerned about you. He watches over you all the time.
When you maintain a close relationship with God and reflect the love of Lord Jesus to others, God will be pleased with you. He will save you, transform you and enable you to grow in Him. He will also fill you with perfect knowledge and grant His abundant blessings.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
I seek You earnestly. In your mercy, look upon me and give ear to my prayer. Remove all my fears and anxieties concerning my future. Bless me with your strength. Transform me and help me to lead a life for your glory. Fill me with perfect knowledge and grant me your abundant blessings.
I ask this through Christ our Lord
Amen.
