                      Seeing Eyes
Psalm 123:1
Unto You I lift up my eyes,
   O You who dwell in the heavens.  (NKJ)

     Because we are God created, finite human beings, we tend to look beyond ourselves for something or someone that we can look up to—someone greater with whom we can rely on to inspire or encourage us while we live in this difficult world that is getting even more difficult as the days go by. For those of us who have our Lord God and Savior, Christ Jesus, as that Someone we can look up to and rely on to inspire, encourage and give us hope, we are blessed with spiritual eyes—eyes that see through the darkness that this fallen world wants us to be trapped in—a darkness of lies that is created by the leader of Hell’s fallen angels.  Christians are utterly filled with thanksgiving and praise to the Lord our God, because there are billions of spiritually blind people in this world that cannot see beyond the world they are trapped in and trying to make sense of. There are so many lost souls who, because of ignorance or pride, are more inclined to look inward for some hidden inner strength.  There are still other discouraged souls who look downward at the futility of it all and simply give up.  And what's left are people who will look everywhere they can, rather than looking upward to the Living God who knows and sees all things visible and invisible.
     If God is your last option, you may not see Him at first glance, but with persistent gazing upwards into the heavenly realms in search of Him, God will, in His own time and His own way, open the spiritual eyes of your heart and you will find the absolute Truth in the Living God—the only One who can rescue you from the hopelessness that we all face without God in our lives.  Our God is very real, my friends, and He resides in the hearts of all His believing people.  How blessed we are that our God is always Home, always watching, and always waiting for you to walk through His door.  He is always there where you are, because He is your Sovereign Keeper; the One who never sleeps and is always alert.  The Almighty, Sovereign God is the infinite Watchful One who has eyes that see it all and the powers to fix it all.

                                     A Whisper of Hope
I see it all, My child…nothing is hidden from Me.  When you look up to Me for truth and resolve, you are looking in the right place, for I Am your Creator and the Keeper of your soul.  You need only look up into the heavens to find the help and hope you need.  I Am always Home and ready to help.

Isaiah 55:6-7
Seek the LORD while you can find Him.  Call on Him now while His is near. 
Let the people turn from their wicked deeds.  Let them banish from their minds
the very thought of doing wrong!  Let them turn to the LORD that He may have
mercy on them.  Yes, turn to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.  (NLT)

    The LORD is watching everywhere, keeping His eye 
                         on both the evil and the good.
                                       (Proverbs 15:3)
