The Lord Sees Everything
Proverbs 5:21 (NLT) “For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.”
In 1998, there was a movie called “The Truman Show” starring Jim Carrey. The show was basically a TV reality show in which the entire town participated as actors. The main character was the star of the TV Reality show, but he didn’t know he was the star. He just lived his life as an insurance man, went to work, did his job, and came home while everyone else played their part in the TV Reality show. Everyone else would rush to their TVs to see another chapter in the life of the main star. The point of the TV Reality show is that everyone saw everything the TV Reality Star was doing. Everything.
People forget that God sees everything that Humans do.
- God sees your actions.
- God knows whatever you say.
- God knows whatever you see.
- God knows whatever you hear.
- God knows your thoughts.
- And God knows the motives behind why you think, see, hear, say, and do whatever things you do.
God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-present. So you can’t hide anything from God. Jesus told His disciples, “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” (Luke 8:17, NLT).
The number one thing that God looks for is your motives and your intentions. He examines why you do what you do. You say you gave money to a beggar on the side of the street? Why did you give money? Did you feel sorry for them? Were you trying to help them out? Or did you feel compassion and share God’s love with them, letting them know that God hasn’t forgotten about them? God says we must forgive those who wronged us. Okay. So you said that you forgave them. God wants to know why you forgave them.
The true test of forgiveness is when you can have a conversation with the person who has wronged you, and you treat them as if they have done nothing wrong. You have wiped your internal list of offenses about them clean.
Don’t waste your life without a care in the world. Find your purpose, be truthful to it, and be mindful that God is watching you and considering your motives.
Be Blessed!
