Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love. – Psalm 33:18
How amazing it is to have a caring Father in Heaven who is all-knowing, everywhere present, and all-seeing. In 2 Chronicles 16:9, you learn, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.” Job 36:7 reminds you, “He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous.” Psalm 34:15 states, “The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry.”
Those who reverence and hold the Lord in awe, and who know Him as Father through a relationship with His Son, Jesus, are ever under His watchful attention. Nothing that happens escapes Him. God is interested in what you are doing and where you are, and He longs to keep you safe and surround you with His steadfast love. “Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord” (Psalm 32:10).
Today, trade in fear and anxiety for confidence in God’s love as you meditate on how He is attentive to you 24/7. Psalm 66:7 says His eyes also watch the nations. Pray for an awakening in the United States and that citizens and governing officials turn to the Lord with a spirit of repentance. Surely, He will protect a nation that loves Him.

I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.

he will keep your life.

your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.
