Never Fear God Looking at You

DAY 136
2-7-10
2 CHRONICLES 4-6


Good Morning!

How have we gotten to the place where we are afraid for God to see and hear us? Sin, guilty feelings, and legalistic righteousness have caused us to fear the God that notices our lives and hears our thoughts.

The Bible teaches that God knows our hearts; sees our needs; notices our actions. However, as children of grace we should never be afraid of God seeing and hearing us. That is especially true of our prayers. Solomon asked God to open his eyes and ears to their prayers.

2 Chronicles 6:40 "O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to all the prayers made to you in this place.

Never fear God seeing you and hearing you. Ask God to look and hear. Let the fact that he is concerned and attentive motivate us to live righteous lives in full view of a gracious God.

Psalms 33:13 From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind.

1 John 5:14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us — whatever we ask — we know that we have what we asked of him.
