Devotions: Completely God's

 

For the eyes of the Lord roam throughout the earth, so that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.

2 Chronicles 16:9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 

God sees everything. Nothing is hidden from Him not even the deepest, most secret thoughts of our hearts. He knows every thought, motive and action. Many think they can get away with something because it is secret and they cannot see God, but they are wrong. Some think it only matters what we do in public, as long as no one knows what we do in private, but they are wrong. The only One who matters is God. He is our judge, no one else. Even if no one knows what we’ve done or thought, it is still wrong because God knows. Yet God is not just a judge, He is also a provider and supporter for those who love Him. He actively seeks out those who love and seek Him so that He can support and lift them up. This verse was told to King Asa of Judah by a prophet. He was faithful to God, for the most part, and in a battle against Ethiopia, he sought God’s help and they were victorious. Yet later he decided to wage war against Baasha king of Israel with the help of the king of Aram. He did not seek God’s guidance or assistance and lost. The latter part of the verse says “for you have acted foolishly in this, and from now on you will have wars.” The country lost its peace and protection because their leader turned his back on God, left Him out of the reckoning. Do you seek God? Does He have your whole heart? If not, ask Him to help you change. Take action and begin to seek Him, spending time with Him. If you already do, take heart. He knows your heart and your struggles, and He will uphold you.
