His Eyes

“Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, why do those who know Him not see His days?” (Job 24:1)

Reading Job 24 reads like present day society. Listen to a few verses: “Some remove landmarks…they push the needy off the road…all the poor of the land are forced to hide…and huddle around the rock for want of shelter…there are those who rebel against the light…the eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight…in the dark they break into houses, which they marked for themselves in the daytime; they do not know the light.”

We wonder out loud at times, “Where is God and why doesn’t He act?” “How much longer will He put up with such sickness, disgust, and SIN?” We must remember that He is a patient God and longsuffering, so that all may come to repentance. His will is for no one to be lost! He waited for you and me, thank God! There are still yet a few (maybe a few million) who are yet to be saved!!! Job gives us the answer to our questions in verse 23, “Yet His eyes are on their ways”.

God sees all that’s going on around us. He is disgusted by it all. However, just as He is patient, He is holy and just. He will judge it all one day, including the work we Christians are doing about it all. Are we coming against the injustice? Are we aiding the poor? Are we helping to even out the scales? Are we being a light in the darkness or hiding ourselves? His eyes are on us as well! The days will get worse and worse, but we need to do more and more to make sure our light stays trimmed and burning for Him! It’s time to step up, not give up!!!
