The Lord Watches Over Those Who Obey Him

🌺Beloved, The Bible teaches that God actively watches over, protects, and sustains those who obey Him and trust in His love.

πŸ“’Psalm 33:18-19, 21 highlights that …

⭕️“The Lord watches over those who obey him, those who trust in his constant love…”.

β€œBehold, the Lord’s eye is upon those

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ who fear Him [who obey, revere and worship Him with awe], πŸ‘‰πŸΎwho wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness,

To;

πŸ‘‰πŸΎdeliver them from death

πŸ‘‰πŸΎand keep them alive in famine.

🌺For in Him does our heart rejoice, because we have trusted (relied on and been confident) in His holy name.”

πŸ‘‰πŸΎGod saves those who obey him from death

πŸ‘‰πŸΎand provides for them during famine.

This watchful care is described as constant protection, with God acting as;

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ a helper,

πŸ‘‰πŸΎa protector, and, in some interpretations, guiding through angels.

🌺Key biblical principles regarding God’s watchfulness over the obedient include:

πŸ“ŒActive Protection and Care:

God is portrayed not as a distant observer, but as one who actively intervenes to guard, guide, and support those faithful to Him.

πŸ“ŒProvision in Times of Need:

πŸ‘‰πŸΎGod promises to sustain those who obey Him, ensuring they have enough even in difficult times or, as Psalm 33 states, “in times of famine”.

πŸ“ŒWe also find Blessings of Obedience in :

πŸ‘‰πŸΎGod’s Word indicate that obeying God’s commandments leads to a better life and well-being for the obedient and their descendants.

πŸ“’Deuteronomy 12:28 NIV tells us…

β­•οΈβ€œBe careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.”

πŸ“ŒGod is Ever-Present Vigilance:

πŸ‘‰πŸΎGod never sleeps or slumbers,

πŸ‘‰πŸΎproviding constant, 24/7 awareness and care for those who obey Him.

πŸ“’Psalm 34:15 declares…

⭕️“The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry”.

πŸ“’Psalm 37:18-19 tells us…

⭕️“The LORD takes care of those who obey him… they will not suffer when times are bad”.

πŸ“’1 Peter 3:12: Reaffirms that the Lord’s eyes are on the righteous.
