Psalms 11:4
"the Lord is in his holy Temple;
the Lord still rules from heaven.
He watches everyone closely,
examining every person on earth"
I was sitting in a bus this afternoon stuck in traffic, when I decided to read this Psalm. I was sitting infront, next to another young man and an old driver on the other end. As I read through this whole Psalm, talking about the righteous being preserved by God, I started looking at these two gentlemen seated next to me. The thought that came to mind is that 'God is also watching these two closely, examining them while on the earth'. Across the road, there were some hawkers trying to sell dolls, some foodstuff, others children mercandise....and yes 'God is also examining these ones' was the thought that came to mind. Despite all their hustles and endeavours to put food on their tables, despite them not being aware of that fact, the almighty God was watching their every move and minding about them.
This thought was very soberning to me today; God watches me very closely and he examines my every move. This is a very comforting thought and at the same time sobering. On the one hand, God is always watching over me and He protects me. I do not need to fear about the things that will happen in my life because I know that He has a good plan for my life. As long as He watches over me, His plan for my life will come to pass. On the other hand, I need to be careful in the things that I do. Since He is watching me closely, I don't want to do things that will make Him sad.
My encouragement to you today is...God is watching over you; therefore you can trust Him with your every move. He has great plans for your life!
