Week #28 devotional is from 1 Peter 3:12 "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer." Can you imagine God in heaven quieting the angels when you speak? And to think that the creator of the universe has his eyes focused upon you and what you are experiencing this very moment! It's one thing to have someone you love present at your ballgame or recital just to watch or hear you. But to consider that God lovingly watches you and listens for your words as you speak is for some, not readily embraceable.
Max Lucado has said; God has your picture on His refrigerator. It's one thing to have your mother or father to spread their first two fingers and point to their eyes and then take the index finger alone and point to you. (Meaning, I have my eyes on you!) But we would do well to grasp, that God desires the relationship to be that close with us. The writer of "His eye is on the Sparrow" embraced the idea. For he said, "I know He watches me".
We have come to appreciate a good listener when one is found. But when we pray, consider the thought that God brings a hand to His ear to hear every word.
