I SAW THAT 👀

My children thought I had eyes behind my head, and I didn’t encourage them to think otherwise. Did that keep them from wrongdoing? It did not. But it did give them a healthy fear of knowing consequences would follow. God sees everything: “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good” (Prov 15:3). He knows our thoughts before we do. He is everywhere and hears everything. We cannot hide from or escape sins’ consequences; they will find us out (Deut 32:23). Doing wrong and choosing not to do good when we should (James 4:17) is disobedience. We are to fear God—have a reverent respect for Him and be in awe and wonder of His greatness. He loves us unconditionally, but we best remember He does not tolerate sin and wants the best for His children. Discipline will come (Deut 8:5-6). His “spankings” may sting; some are harsher than others but always for our good.
