For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.
2 Chronicles 16:9
As a farmer I walk across the land and I see much more on the ground than my companions. Where the plants are standing well, where fertilizer is missing, where the weeds grow, eveything that others form a different profession do not see. The coin-collector sees immediately the good coin in a foreign collection. And the doctor sees immediately the weakpoints in his fellow man. So is it with our God. His nature is love and mercy and if he sweeps His eyes over the earth then He immediately has got all of His diamonds in His sight. As a father, I see my own child immediately in a large group of children and I do not take my eyes off him, when danger threatens him then the father stands so that he can be quicker at side, he is in readiness. And the child seeks out the father if the difficulties come, when tired or simply needs a hug.
The Lord is a strong helper. He does not let His beloved children out of His sight. He does not sleep or slumber. And His children hold the connection to their beloved Lord; all their hardships and worries, all their joys and successes they share with Him. Their heart is undivided with their heavenly father, He who cares for them.
Thank you heavenly father that I am so secure in you. You are my strong help in the hardships and you rejoice with me when everything is going well. Lord, direct my heart more towards you; there are still things that stand in competition with you. Forgive and cleanse me, that my heart can beat more for you, in the way that your heart beats for me.
