The Eye of the LORD

Psalm 33:18-19

Now the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him – those who depend on His faithful love to deliver them from death and to keep them alive in famine.

In this verse, we see the fear of the LORD defined. Those who fear God depend upon His faithful love to deliver them and keep them alive. They depend upon God for their very existence.

When we have done all we can do, we must depend upon God’s love for us. The Devil would like nothing more than to convince us we are being punished in some way because then we would lose faith. We must believe that God loves us, He is with us in every battle, and He is for us. He fights for us and defends us against the schemes of the Devil. When we don’t believe God is on our side, we lose our joy, our hope, and our faith.

Hebrews 11:6 tells us that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Nothing pleases God more than to see His children dependent upon Him and believing in His love toward them to take care of them. In that dependence, faith is revealed.

If the storm is raging around you, the bills are piling way too high, and the attacks just keep coming, rest in the love the Father has for you. His eye is upon those who fear Him. Depend upon His love for you to see you through whatever struggle you face. Feed your faith and not your fear because faith pleases God, and He has the power to deliver you and sustain you.

Have a blessed day!
