Eyes in the Back of My Head

Bible in a Year : Psalms 33–34; Acts 24

From his dwelling place [God] watches all who live on earth. Psalm 33:14

I was as mischievous as any other child in my early years and tried to hide my bad behavior to avoid getting into trouble. Yet my mother usually found out what I had done. I recall being amazed at how quickly and accurately she knew about my antics. When I marveled and asked how she knew, she always replied, “I have eyes in the back of my head.” This, of course, led me to study her head whenever she’d turn her back—were the eyes invisible or merely cloaked by her red hair? As I grew, I gave up looking for evidence of her extra pair of eyes and realized I just wasn’t quite as sneaky as I had supposed. Her watchful gaze was evidence of her loving concern for her children.

As grateful as I am for my mother’s attentive care (despite being occasionally disappointed I hadn’t gotten away with something!), I’m even more grateful that God “sees all mankind” as He looks upon us from heaven (Psalm 33:13). He sees so much more than what we do; He sees our sadness, our delights, and our love for one another.

God sees our true character and always knows exactly what we need. With perfect vision, which even sees the inner workings of our hearts, He watches over those who love Him and put their hope in Him (v. 18). He’s our attentive, loving Father.

Reflect & Pray

How does it comfort you to know that God sees everything and is watching over you? What has He been doing recently to sharpen your character?

Dear Father, thank You for watching over all people and for seeing what happens in our world and in my life.

Christ Our Morning Star

O Christ, our Morning Star,
Splendour of Light Eternal,
shining with the glory of the rainbow,
come and waken us
from the greyness of our apathy,
and renew in us your gift of hope.
Amen.

—Bede the Venerable

Happy GratiTuesday To Amy's Place

It is always wise to stop wishing for things long enough
to enjoy the fragrance of those now flowering.

Great Weather in Wisconsin too.
Working is so much easier.

Finished Planting 4 rose bushes today, replacing 4 spireas.
Got the roses at Home Depot for $20 each. Good price!
Knock Out Roses, hopefully hardy enough for southern WI.
Will extra winterize them in late fall.

Shoveled weeds out of friend’s garden for 3 hours Monday and barely broke a sweat!

Last week walking out of the house a few feet “ broke a sweat” !

Had a nice couple hours with my rental horse today. She’s very sweet.

Have a good night, All!

[TheConservativeParty]

Wow, great flower display!

[luvie]

Whoa! You were one busy person today. I’m tired just from reading your list. LOL!

[TheConservativeParty]

Sure is easy when it’s not 95 and humid!
More gardening tomorrow at dear friends house.
She has out of control perennial bed full of weeds.
Poor dear says she wants it to be beautiful “one more time”.
She’s not in great health so I’m giving it my all to get ‘er weeded and planted...before it snows! Ha ha.
