Proverbs 15:3 (NKJV) The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
There isn’t a single thing that gets past God.
No matter what happens, when it happens or where it happens, God’s eyes see it and His ears hear it.
Some might think of this and use it to hold Christians accountable for their behavior. This is, of course, true. We should always be aware of what we’re doing and whether it’s pleasing to God or not.
But did you know that we also need to understand this when it comes to the things that others do?
There is a lot of evil in the world. Nobody can deny this. The world becomes more vile as each year passes. Thievery, deception… these are just a couple of the things that we see a lot of and which are on the rise. Everyone reading this has probably been stolen from or deceived in one way or another.
Some us have been hurt very badly by this kind of activity, suffering loss of money or material things. And others have been hurt badly by deception, suffering emotionally, sometimes for a very long time.
But know this; The eyes of God are in every place. Nothing is hidden from Him. Not even these things that have caused you harm or loss.
The important thing to understand is that when things happen to us, we are not to return evil for evil. So if you’re holding onto something that has happened to you and wondering how you can get back at that person, let it go.
It’s not easy to do, but let it go. It is not up to us to seek revenge. Vengeance is God’s. He will be the one to judge all people and He will be the one to avenge your loss and your pain.
Romans 12:19 (NKJV) Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
So rest in Him, knowing that He sees all things and that all things are in His hands.
