The floods of this life, the wickedness of men, the humiliation and shame, hunger and loneliness, the nakedness and the disappointments, delays and the long wait, the rejection and the curses of men, the known and the unknown daily battles of life and the always near successes rather than the real success, absolutely nothing will take God’s eye away from you and away from His plans and His purpose in your life. He had chosen to save you, chosen to keep you, chosen to give you His Holy Spirit to dwell in you, and chosen to bless you, and He will do all of them. With forty days and forty nights of rain, God did not take His eyes away from Noah and away from the place he was dwelling; with flood that lasted for over a year, God’s eyes were still upon Noah, and when the waters finally subsided, God brought Noah out and established him on the earth. The God who saw Noah before the rain, who spoke to him and give him directives on what to do before the rain, the God who helped him built the ark, the God who kept him during the forty days and forty nights of rain, the God who sustained Noah and his family during the flood, the God who blessed and established Noah after the flood, He is the same God we serve today. He is dependable, worthy of our praises, able and willing to do whatever it will take to keep us and to bless us as He did for Noah in his time, He did not take His eyes away from Noah.

Zechariah and Elizabeth believed and followed God but found themselves without children, but God did not take His eyes away from them and did not cancel His plans for their lives, at the appointed time, He gave a son called John the Baptist. “Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.” Luke 1:11-13. In believing God and following His words and His commands, Noah found himself and his family floating on top of the flood yet God was still watching over them to ensure His words were fulfilled and they survived the flood while others died. In believing God and following His words, Job who was very prosperous suddenly found himself very poor, having no children, no family, no place to rest his body, sick, lonely, humiliated, shameful and isolated, yet God did not take His eyes away from him, He health him, He restored his wealth and He gave him a fortune and God gave him ten children. “The Lord restored the fortunes of Job, the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning, and he had seven sons and three daughters.” Job 42:10,12, 13

For being faithful to God and refusing to compromise with evil, Daniel was sentenced to death in the lion’s den, but even in that place of fear, that place of horrible experience with hungry lions, God’s eyes was there to preserve Daniel and to restrain the lions from harming him. God’s love for you is forever and His plans do not change, His ways do not change and His words do not change. Has He saved you, He will keep you, He will bless you, He will rescue you, He will restore and will establish you. Because God acted in the lives and situations of others, He will also act in your case and on your behalf. He did not turn His eyes away from Hannah even when Eli accused her; He did not stop His plans and purpose for Sarah even when she made a mistake. While you will not continue in your mistakes, God is seeing you and He will act in ways that will give you joy and stability. “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us so much that He died for us. For I am convinced and continue to be convinced beyond any doubt that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the unlimited love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39.
