| “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry.” |
| —Psalm 34:15 |
I always enjoy seeing the sign that reads: “Warning! Neighborhood Watch!” It reminds me that the people living in that particular neighborhood feel a responsibility to themselves and each other to remain vigilant. They keep watch on what is going on in their surroundings. There is less chance of crime occurring whenever the people stay alert.
Not long ago, a Neighborhood Watch person reported to police that a moving van had pulled up to a house across the street. The neighbor knew that the people had experienced a death in the family and had traveled out of state for a funeral.
When the police arrived they found criminals attempting to steal all of those people’s possessions. You see, the crooks had watched the obituaries to find someone that had died out of state. Then, they targeted the loved ones who had gone to attend the far away funeral. Thanks to Neighborhood Watch, the criminals were arrested and their plot was foiled.
King David praises God for His ever-vigilant watchfulness in Psalm 34:15:
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry.
As we begin a new day, let’s remain thankful that God watches over us. His eyes never leave us. His ears listen for our cries for help. We can move confidently into this day knowing that the God who loves us with His everlasting love keeps us always in view. He remains attentive to our cries for help. He listens for our expressions to Him of our love.
