The Eyes Of . . .
God’s eyes search
to show Himself strong
on behalf of . . .
Have you ever mused
about what He's
looking for?
His favorite search is for
Hearts . . .
Ones loyal to Him.
The ones who above all
seek to do His will.
He will fortify
and come to their aid.
Strengthening them . . .
To Conquer!
Reflection
I am always searching for the wonderful clues God leaves us in His word. When He shares a clue, it always seems to have confirming scriptures and testimonies of how He backs up those who put these clues into action.
I am always challenged by the litmus tests of my heart as I respond or react to life's curveballs. When faced with any challenge, it's great to know how our responses reveal our hearts.
Responding in the flesh or spirit is immediately revealed to us as we go through these situations. In the above poem, which was written from the passage in II Chronicles 16:9 NKJV, we read how God searches and backs up those whose hearts are loyal to Him.
God knows us completely in every way and responds to our heart's whispers and thoughts in unique and unusual ways. There have been times when I have imagined something which only God could cause to happen and I just imagined it and didn't pray and ask Him about it.
A couple of weeks later the thing I imagined happened! I was God-smacked with what happened and couldn't stop smiling about the entire event. Other people have shared similar experiences with me. This sort of occurrence really underscores the words in Ephesians 3:20 Amplified version
Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,
God searches for hearts and when we read through Psalms, we read about the emotional roller-coaster of a man whose heart is recorded in scripture; God raised up David to be king, for God said of him, ‘I have found in David, son of Jesse, a man who always pursues my heart and will accomplish all that I have destined him to do.’
Acts 13:22 TPT
This is an amazing verse when you consider the documented journey about David. It gives us great comfort to read between the lines that we can identify with David and his transparency about his life.
2022 I believe is a year for us as believers to draw closer to God Himself with our relationship to personalize it in a far deeper way. Don't fear Him searching your heart, instead, open it wide for Him.
Questions
# - Have ever spent time meditating on what God looks for and is seeking IN US not from us?
Can you list scripture that highlights this?
# - Can you identify times when you have imagined …… only to have it happen soon after?
# - Do you draw comfort from the life of David as expressed in the Psalms as you identify with his responses and reactions?
