Proverbs 5:21 “For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings.”
I was teaching a Sunday School class recently: it was about the sin of Achan as recorded in Joshua chapter seven. Achan took spoils from the city of Jericho. God had instructed the people to destroy everything that was in the city. Achan disobeyed God and tried to hide the stolen items in his tent. He and his family were judged because of this sin. In fact, the whole nation of Israel was judged as they lost the battle of Ai along with thirty six men.
This lesson was centered around the fact that we cannot hide anything from God, referring to the wrong choices we make. As I was teaching, it occurred to me that God also sees the right things that we do. He is paying attention. When we choose to do right and follow His ways, this pleases Him. This opens up the opportunities for wonderful blessings in our lives. I believe that God keeps a record of all the right decisions and choices we make – large or small.
The next time you are faced with the dilemma of choosing – picture the Lord as being there right beside you and seek His guidance and help. (Just make sure you are listening to His answer!)
He’s here! He’s here! He’s here! – We really don’t need to say anymore.
