In Wellington, New Zealand, scientists discovered the remains of the very rare colossal squid. During their examination, they measured the creatures eyes... and were shocked! Each eye was 11 inches across... the size of a regular dinner plate! Can you imagine how intimidating and scary it was to those swimming through the ocean? Divers simply minding their own business being stared at by a huge undersea creature... with giant eyes that seemed to be sizing them up... ready to attack!
Tragically, many see God in a similar way... Huge eyes glaring down from Heaven with an intimidating and judgmental gaze... ready to punish and discipline if they make the slightest move. But that’s not the God we read about in 2 Chronicles 16:9. It says: “The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” His eyes aren’t hunting prey... they are searching for those in prayer. He isn’t seeking someone to make an example of... He’s looking for someone to make whole again. God’s eyes are loving... and they are everywhere at the same time. As you start your day today... close your own eyes and thank God for always watching out for you... Thank Him that He never blinks or removes His gaze... You are His child and He is vigilantly looking for ways to strengthen you for what lies ahead.
