Under His Watch
DAILY VITAMIN
- Under His Watch
For every time we perceive to have fallen short of God's glory by our wayward actions, we all have the Peter's experience.
How do I mean?
Right there in the midst of multitudes of haters and profane fellows willing to kill Jesus, with some other Christ-loving people, the Lord located Peter immediately after he had denied Him (Luke 22:61). Jesus saw him even when he thought he had perfectly hidden himself from men.
This is to tell us that whenever we go against His words, though we might think the world is so much as populated, such that God can't see us at all, but He sees you much more than you see yourself. And the same happens at all times. We are constantly under His surveillance (2 Chronicles 16:9). But what happened afterwards with Peter?
After his realization that the Lord had seen him, and that he had erred, he went out and wept (v. 62). Thus, as Peter, do you feel the pain of regret, accepting the chance of repentance when you engage an action of sin? Or do you just see it as normal whenever you wrong your Father in heaven? Peter's renewed knowledge of how God watches him even when it seemed as though he was lost in his entire wrong doing produced an assurance that God also watches him at all times, even at good times (Psalm 30:6), and so should it to you.
Today, take time to recreate your thought pattern, asking help of God; for it's only in this that we can live a life unidirectional towards God- devoid of doubt, both in the 'sunny and rainy' days, knowing that whether the shades darken the sky, or the rays lighten it up, God still sees us.
Hence, I implore you to live life to the fullest, but with the mindset that the Lord sees you at all times, such that you remain fixed to His will. Let it motivate you live with the caution to always please Him. There is great cloud of witnesses around us, and they are expecting to see whether or not we would obey the Lord. I can't answer for you, and so I ask "How would you respond?"
