Mar 7 - Tuesday
Psalm 34The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry. (Psalm 34:15)
Think about how a mother can look into the eyes of her baby with complete contentment and love. She simply marvels at this precious new life in her arms. What does the baby do? She looks back at mommy, drinking in the love she can see in her eyes. In our prayer today, let’s look into the eyes of our Heavenly Father. What do we see?
Just as the baby can see mommy’s love, we can see the Father’s love as we gaze into his eyes. God is always available, never aloof, and continually attentive to our every call (Psalm 34:6). He is full of grace, covering us with the radiance of his presence when we turn our faces to him (34:5). He says, “I will have my angels encamped around you because I want to protect you”
(34:7). He is mighty, watching every moment of our lives to deliver us from harm. He is the author of peace, removing all our fears as we bring them to him (34:4). He is merciful, lifting up our wounded spirits (34:19). He is our comforter, tenderly touching our hearts which have been broken through loss or harm (34:18). God is good, abounding in love, compassion, and steadfast kindness. Let us ponder such things!
Though we are tempted to see only a reflection of our sin and weaknesses in his eyes, let’s ask him to tell us how he sees us. He looks upon us as his precious children, whom he created in love. He sees his plans to bless us unfolding in our families, churches, and neighborhoods. He sees people who can be filled with his presence. He sees children without shame, clamoring to sit close to their Father. He sees his children fall asleep in his peace, even in the midst of the difficult circumstances of life. He sees our excitement when his words in the Scriptures suddenly come alive. We belong to him.
Heavenly Father, how wonderful you are! You see into every part of my life and care for me without hesitation. I love you. I trust you with my life. I am content to look at you and see all that you are, and all that you desire for me.
