God Is Watching

God Is Watching

By: Juliet Constantine



Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?” says the LORD; “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD. (Jeremiah 23:24 NKJV)
 

Have you been startled by any news you heard lately? There are many we could list. These are daily occurrences and because they happen so frequently, they just elicit a shrug of the shoulders. No big deal, right?

But there are still some news items that seem to stain our memory. Honor killings in the Middle East, the sprinting speed of the advancement of gay rights, the move to force employers to distribute birth control to employees, the SWAP of Bibles for murders in schools, and the list goes on. It never seems to end.

Many of these activities were conceived in secret at the initial stage. Secret plans and actions formulated to derail and control. It’s happening every day in every country; and being released in stages. Many are surprised when they see the true picture of what they voted for, something totally different from the original intent. Why is this so? Because the devil is the engineer!

The Lord declares that He fills Heaven and Earth, and nothing is hidden from Him. All plans we lay in secret are open to His all knowing eyes. We may do so behind closed, sealed and sound proof doors thinking no one will know. But God does see and knows. And He doesn’t keep secret if your plans are for evil. He will reveal them to His prophets and servants.

What plans are you secretly scheming to implement? The Lord is observing. What are your secret actions – are they for evil or good? The Lord knows and He will reveal them. Just remember – God is watching you!

Oh my Father, thank You for Your constant watch care over Your children. Thank You for ruling in the affairs of men. We know that things will happen only if You allow them. Help us not to be fainthearted but to trust that You will intervene in Your own time, because You see and knows everything. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

Job: The End

What can we learn from the end of the story of Job? Does Job have a happy ending, or is he still awaiting his happy ending? What can this book teach us about human suffering for those who love God? Does God bless us in the here and now? What are the rewards of trusting God? Who can we depend on when family, friends, and acquaintances turn their backs on us? Is death truly the end of life’s story? How can the second coming of Jesus impact how we relate to hardship and difficulties in our lives? Did Job understand the doctrine of the resurrection?

Matthew: Peter and the Rock

What was the relationship between Peter, Jesus, and the church? How should we understand Jesus' words that upon the rock would he build his church? Who was this rock? Protestants and Catholics have long debated this passage but what secrets do the Greek manuscripts hold that make the matter more clear? In this study John Spellman goes into depth explaining the passage Matthew 16:18 in a way you may never have heard before. Why does it matter who Jesus is to us? Why is it important that we see Him as the rock?

Love Found A Way
The love of God never ceases to amaze me! His love is so stubborn and relentless. His love knows no measure. His love found a way to reconcile mankind to Himself! He turned away His own wrath by sacrificing His own Son, Jesus!! Isn’t that amazing? And what’s even more amazing is that Jesus Himself loves us just as much, and is ready and willing to forgive us of our sins. Jesus did not delegate this responsibility to humans – the responsibility to forgive sins. He is our High Priest. He encouraged us not to sin but just in case we did, He was our advocate with Father God. We are only required to confess our faults to each other!
Leave Mary Alone
At Jesus’ going away supper, while others dined and conversed with Him, Mary, out of sheer gratitude, felt a compulsion to anoint Jesus. So she anointed His feet using a very expensive ointment, and her hair was the towel. It was nothing strange to anoint dead bodies, but it was a strange sight to behold the anointment of a living person. Some thought it was a sexual advancement and were very critical of her, others thought that she broke protocol and was being disrespectful. It would seem that no one, except Jesus, was grateful for what she did.
Hosanna
It’s seems like we are created to confront, complain, and murmur. Instead of praising Him in the good times and the bad, we praise only in good times and complain in the bad times. We play when things are good and pray when times are hard. We limit ourselves by looking only ‘as far as the eye can see’. If we allow ourselves to see farther, I know our responses would’ve been different. Short sighted vision will rob us of continual praise, and constant shouts of Hosanna.
