He Watches

Psalm 121 NLT

I look up to the mountains - does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!

He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.

The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.

Prayer:

Father, 

          You are our Protector, whom shall we fear? Remind us to always keep our eyes on You, the Author and FINISHER of our faith. Knowing You watch over us gives us peace that passes understanding even in the middle of every storm and trial. Keep us ever mindful of this Truth, both now and forever. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen

Can You See Me?

The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.
1st Peter 3:12 NLT

I remember when my children were small, I couldn't decide if my name was "Mom-watch!" or "Mom-c'mere!" Either way, it involved me looking to see what my children were doing. Now, they're adults and when we get together, it's "Mom, look at this!" "Mom, did you see...?"

Our Promise for Today tells us our Heavenly Father is watching over us. Isn't that reassuring? And His ears are open to our prayers... "See, Abba? See? Do You like what I'm doing? Am I doing it the way You want me to?"  It's amazing how some things don't change that much. 

According to Peter, God is watching and listening if we are doing right, but He turns His face against those who do evil. 

So the big question is, "Can You see me?"

Prayer:

Father,
          Create in us a right spirit because we want to be right with You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
