Eyes Have It

“For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” II Chronicles 16:9a

“The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.” Psalm 34:15

“Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars, the One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power not one of them is missing.” Isaiah 40:26

Our eyes bring us so much information each day as we look around at the wonder surrounding us!  Yet the Lord’s eyes are active every moment, watching and weeping for us when we are feeling lost or in pain.  Look up...and see His love!

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
