The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Proverbs 15:3 KJV
Since God is spirit (John 4:24), He does not have physical eyes as we do, but the Bible describes Him this way that we might understand His intimate awareness of our every activity. This verse illustrates one of the attributes of God. He is all-knowing. He knows what is happening everywhere. He sees the good and the bad. The fact that He sees the bad is a warning to those who do evil; evil doers will not get away with anything. They will be held accountable for every evil deed (Revelation 20:12-13). His awareness should also be an encouragement to those who do well. He is not just making notations of good and bad deeds. 1 Peter 3:12 indicates He is against the evil and watches over the good.
Lord, Your intimate awareness of my every deed is an encouragement because sometimes I feel like the things I do go unnoticed and it is enough for me that You know. That You see every deed is also a challenge because I am nor always as good as I should be. Help me to live so that my whole life is pleasing to You.
