Is God still speaking today to humanity? Is He listening

to humanity today? What do you think He is saying about

what He sees today? Will God reward and bless a person

for acknowledging His existence?

Moses simply advised his people that there is reward and

blessing by living to please God: "When you will listen

to the voice of Jehová your God, to keep all His laws

which I command you this day, to do that which is right

in the eyes of Jehová your God" (Deut 13:18). God

will be merciful to His people; He will keep His promises.

God never sleeps, and is watching over all of His creation

with an intent interest in our affairs.

The Scripture tells us that King David relied on the

ability of God to see his heart's condition and the

mercy of God to see his repentance that would enable

him to be in God's good favor: "And the king said

unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city:

if I shall find favor in the eyes of Jehová your

God, He will bring me again, and show me both it,

and His habitation" (2Sam 15:25). David later found

mercy and favor in God's eyes, and it is interesting

that "mercy and goodness followed him all the days of

his life".

The Scripture tells us that there was a man that did not

adhere to the laws of God: "Twenty years old was Ahaz

when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in

Jerusalem: and he did not do what was right in the eyes

of Jehová his God, like David his father" (2Ki 16:2).

He worshipped other gods that could not see, but in the

end had to give an account of his life to his God that

could see his total life. Ahaz did not seek God's mercy

and found God's judgement.

Let us remember who is the God that sees all things.

God's name is Jehová El Roi. He is the God that sees

the needs of His people, to be the moral conscience

and strength daily, and to strongly support those

whose hearts are truly His. Lift your hands to Him

and Praise Him today for the fact that He is the

all-seeing God today!
