Eyes of the Lord

 

Eyes

You could say that eyes are magical. Eyes can reach into one's soul, seeing things inside or even warming one's soul. Eyes do not speak, but many times seems they do speak. They can easily reflect emotions, and also detect sincerity, honesty, and feelings within someone. 

"The eyes of the Lord move throughout the land seeking hearts that are perfect towards Him." 

2 Chronicles 16:9

I am sure that you have been in a grocery line with a baby in the cart, or in the arms of someone ahead of you. It is hard to not connect with the little one, especially if there are a pair of eyes, like in the picture, staring at you. If you choose to you can easily connect with the child and begin communicating with your eyes, and maybe some words as well. In this case eyes can be very moving. They can speak powerfully. We are created in God's image. God created that power of connecting with others in very simple ways, without words or any type of movements. Have you ever felt that someone was looking at you? God is looking for connections with you and me. Take the time to soak in a God that loves you and is looking at you.  

Dysfunctional "God is Good"

God, I need your help

 I mentioned in my last blog that a dysfunctional life needs God to get involved. Taking the "DYS" from the word and we have functional. Let's turn those 3 letters into three steps. 

1. D- Done (I am done doing it my way)

2. Y- Yes (Yes, I need help me)

3. S- Steady (Stay steady on your new course)

1. Done. It just might be that I am doing things incorrectly. Let God help, and let God use others to help. Put your pride to the side and ask for help. Ask in the right place, a wise friend or profesional. 

2. Say "Yes" to God. God is the best source for help. If you do not have a relationship with God, take the steps to get connected. A Pastor or a Christian friend can help. You can talk to God directly through prayer. God does listen and will respond. Just be open to His response as it may not be in the form that you are expecting. 

3. Stay "Steady" on your renewed course. As you are walking a new path so to speak, stay on course. On this new path you will learn to react differently and respond in more positive ways. Walk with confidence trusting in God.

"We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall." Prov. 16:33 NLT

Don't be afraid to walk. God will guide where that step falls!
