God sees me

 Our God, has eyes who sees you, every moment.

No one, can escape from His eyes. He monitors you, each and every moment. Have, you seen a cat sleeping? It sleeps partially. We think, it's sleeping but, it opens it's eyes soon, and ponders on to its prey. When, we read in Rev 19:12, Rev 1:14 "His eyes are like blazing fire, Dan 10:6" His eyes are like flaming torches", From such eyes blazing fire and torch who can escape? In fact no one. Jesus, is going to come and judge soon.

Our God, is omnipresent who sees, what we go through; whether we are in struggles, and pain to give us the help. Sometimes, God allows us to go through tough situations in our life. We start thinking why, so many problems come in my life. May be God, wants us to make it happen, and make us strong in Lord. God sees us, and cares for our every need.

When, we see in the life of Hagar, the struggles, she had to face in Abraham's house, by being a maid of Sarah. Not only, was she a maid but, she was an Egyptian slave who was sold to Abraham's family. And was chosen by Sarah, to be a surrogate mother for her. After Hagar became pregnant Sarah, started mistreating her, which made her fled from her to the wilderness, where she met the angel of the Lord. Who consoled her, and asked to return to Sarah.

Why, should the great God of Abraham, notice someone such as her? The Gods, which she had, cared a little of her. This was the time when distress and struggle brought a near collapse in life, and she was immediately consoled. We can see in Gen 16:13 " She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her" You are the God who sees me" for she said," I have now seen the one who sees me." 'El-Roi'

Let me illustrate; if you have a house maid in your house she, will look to the hand of her mistress whether, the mistress is calling her saying, something or ordering, she understands, each and every activity of her. I, remember a housemaid we had at our home. Whatever; my mummy used to say, she does all the work sometimes; a sign was enough, and she would understand, or a nod, an action of the hand, a gesture was enough. For, all this to happen she used to have a close relation, and used to discuss all her issues, with mummy. She, also had an eye, to mummy's hand of giving her something, meaning some financial help. So, is the case with our God, since He knows all what we do. Thus, we also should, maintain a closer relationship with Him, and look onto His face, for the help which we desire from Him.

Ps 123:2 " Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, and as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress."

How, awesome! is our God who sees us daily, about how we are, every moment of the day. People, may overlook us, and may not understand the pain, anguish, troubles, and disappointment in our lives. But, there is one who looks, sees, and understands us reaches out to us, and give us, the aid we need at the due time.

Friends, Hope, this blog will enlighten your thoughts, regarding the 'God who watches'.. Please share with your friends and family. God bless you.

Thanks

Overcoming Sin...

I groan daily under a body of sin and corruption. Oh for the time when I shall drop this flesh, and be free from sin! - Charles Spurgeon

No one likes to be called a sinner, guilty. A fault, problem, mistake or wrong are more polite words. But, sin should not be considered lightly as it keeps you away from God. The word sin if, weighed it tells us that we, have broken a moral code. Lord, enlightened me through a verse in John 16:8 "When He comes He will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgement:"

Many times we think, people are not at all guilty. They just break the law even, when they know it is wrong. It, is all because they find pleasure in it, or might be greedy like, the recent gold smuggling case of Kerala. She was greedy, and sin entered her to violate the law. Another recent case, of gang rape happening constantly in U.P. The men, who find pleasure, and leisure enter into the lust, rape, leading to murder.

When we see in the scriptures, the sin started by Eve, which was born inside her; with a small lie which the (Satan) serpent being crafty deceived the women with it. And asked her, " Did God really say, ' You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" Eve answered, Gen 3: 3," but God did say,' You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die'." 'Not touch it' was the lie which she said to the serpent. As the correct commandment is written in Gen 2:17 thus was Eve, tempted and fell into the trap of sin. So, you see how the sin ruined the life of Eve.

Later Cain, also due to anger attacked, his brother killed him. Gen 4:9 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" I don't know, he replied "Am I my brother's keeper?" See how, the sin got control over Cain when he told a lie Satan, got victory over him, and thus he did another sin.

 A preacher said once, about sin that it's like, ripples formed in the water when a stone is thrown. One sin, causes another then to hide that, another is caused, like in the story of Cain. So, you see how the sin creeps in your life, slowly and masters your mind with bad motives, lust, forbidden things, lies, anger, murder etc.

In Gal 5:19,20,21, "The act of sinful nature are obvious :sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry, and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies and the like."   

If, we take a look into sin. It's an enemy in various forms, which is lying in wait ready to attack us. We have to keep away from all these sin otherwise we will not be able to enter the kingdom of God.

 Rom 6:23 " For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Sin will try to overcome you but; you should be watchful and alert. Don't allow sin to have dominion. It is up to the individual, to safeguard themselves by the blood of Jesus. Obey his commandments, read the word, and submit your time for prayer. Then, only can you OVERCOME SIN.

This blog, is only to motivate you, flee from all sinful ways and overcome sin. Be obedient, truthful in all your matters. Don't give, a loophole to Satan. If this, article has been a blessing to you and enlightened you, please do share with all.  God bless.
