The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. — Proverbs 15:3 KJV
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. — Proverbs 15:3 NIV
Reflection
God is all-seeing and all-knowing. It reassures us that God is always aware of our circumstances both in times of joy and in times of struggle. This can be a source of comfort and accountability which reminds us that our actions and intentions whether good or bad are always seen by God. We need therefore to live righteously and ethically knowing that our lives are an open book before God. We must be motivated to pursue goodness and shun evil, not out of fear, but out of a desire to live in harmony with God’s will.
