In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I greet you in the precious love of our Father, the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, and the communion of the saints. Today, I come before you not with the wisdom of men, but with a word that has been burning in my spirit, a revelation that the Holy Spirit has deposited in my heart during seasons of prayer. When I approach the throne of grace, I always ask our Father a very specific question: “Lord, what is it that You want me to teach Your children?” I do not presume to know what the body of Christ needs. I wait upon Him. I linger in His presence. I press into the secret place until heaven speaks. And today, the answer came clearly. The Holy Spirit said, “Teach them about the eye. Teach them about observation. Teach them about how I see, and how they must see.”
This message is titled “The Eye Observant.” It is a deep dive into the nature of divine sight, human vision, and spiritual perception. We will explore how God sees us, how the angels observe creation, how the enemy watches for our downfall, and how we, as children of God, must sanctify our vision to align with heaven’s perspective. This is not a casual topic. This is a matter of life and death, of blessing and curse, of light and darkness. For what you observe shapes who you become. What you focus on grows in your life. What you behold, you eventually manifest. Therefore, open your spiritual ears and let the Holy Spirit speak deeply to your heart.
Every child of God, at some point in their spiritual journey, begins to ask profound questions about sight and observation. We look at ourselves, we look at the world around us, we look at the scriptures, and we wonder about the mysteries of vision. We ask ourselves, “How does God see us? How does God observe us?” We wonder if His gaze is one of judgment or mercy, of distance or intimacy, of cold assessment or warm affection. We ask, “When God looks at me in my weakness, in my failure, in my secret struggles, what does He actually see?”
Then we look at the heavenly realm and we ask, “Why does the Bible describe angels with so many eyes? Why are the living creatures in the book of Revelation covered with eyes all over their bodies, in front and behind?” This is not a small detail. Nothing in scripture is accidental. Every description, every symbol, every image is pregnant with meaning. So why eyes? Why so many? What is heaven trying to tell us about observation?
We also ask questions about the physical eye itself. “Why did God, in His infinite wisdom and creative genius, design human beings with two eyes—left and right? Why not one eye in the center? Why not three eyes? Why two?” There is purpose in this design, and we must understand it. Furthermore, we ask, “Why do our eyes fail us in the darkness? Why does the most sophisticated organ of sight become useless when light is removed?” This physical reality points to a spiritual truth that we must grasp.
And then there are the difficult questions. “Why does God allow some of His children to be born blind? Why are there people who have never seen the sun, never seen a face, never seen a flower?” If eyes are so important, why does God permit blindness? These questions are not asked to challenge God, but to understand Him. They are asked by sincere hearts seeking sincere answers. And by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit will give us insight into these mysteries.
Let us turn our attention first to the heavenly realm, for all true understanding begins in heaven and descends to earth. In the book of Revelation, chapter four, verses six through eight, the apostle John gives us a breathtaking description of the living creatures around the throne of God. He writes, “And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within.”
What does this mean? Why are these angelic beings described as being covered with eyes? The answer is profound. These eyes represent perfect knowledge, complete awareness, and divine vigilance. Nothing escapes the notice of heaven. There is no detail too small, no moment too brief, no secret too hidden that it is not observed by the heavenly hosts. The eyes before represent their ability to see the future, to perceive what is coming, to understand prophecy and destiny. The eyes behind represent their knowledge of the past, their understanding of history, their awareness of everything that has led to this moment. And the eyes within represent their ability to see the heart, to perceive motives, to discern the inner reality of every being.
This is how heaven operates. This is the standard of observation in the spiritual realm. And this is the kind of observation that God wants to develop in His children. He wants us to have eyes that see before and behind, eyes that see within and without. He wants us to be people of spiritual awareness, people who are not caught off guard, people who perceive what is happening in the spiritual realm even before it manifests in the physical.
But let us be clear: the eyes of the angels are not just for surveillance. They are for worship. Revelation tells us that these living creatures, full of eyes, never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” Their observation leads to adoration. Their awareness leads to worship. When you truly see God, when you truly perceive His holiness, when you truly observe His majesty, you cannot help but worship. This is the connection between sight and praise that we must recover in our generation.
Now we must ask the most personal question of all: How does God see me? How does the Creator of the universe observe His creation? How does the Father look upon His children?
The first truth we must establish is that God sees everything. The psalmist declares in Psalm 33:13-15, “From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.” There is no hiding from God. There is no corner of the universe where His gaze does not reach. Proverbs 15:3 confirms this: “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” This is not meant to frighten us, but to comfort us. The God who sees everything is the God who cares about everything.
But God does not see the way humans see. This is the critical distinction. First Samuel 16:7 gives us the foundational truth: “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.'” This verse changes everything. Human observation is superficial. We see the face, the clothes, the accomplishments, the failures. We judge by what is visible. But God sees the heart. He sees the intentions behind the actions. He sees the struggles behind the smile. He sees the faith behind the fear. He sees the potential behind the failure.
When God looks at you, He does not just see where you are; He sees where you are going. He does not just see your sin; He sees your repentance. He does not just see your weakness; He sees your dependence on His strength. He does not just see your past; He sees your future in Christ. This is the God who sees you, and His sight is always filtered through His love.
The Hebrew name for God that captures this truth is El Roi, which means “the God who sees me.” This name was given by Hagar in Genesis 16 when she fled from Sarah and found herself in the wilderness, alone and desperate. An angel of the Lord appeared to her and spoke to her situation. After this encounter, she said, “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” Hagar, a foreigner, a servant, a woman in distress, discovered that God saw her. He saw her tears. He saw her pain. He saw her isolation. And He came to her rescue.
Child of God, no matter where you are today, no matter what wilderness you find yourself in, El Roi sees you. He sees your tears that no one else notices. He sees your sacrifices that no one else appreciates. He sees your faithfulness that no one else acknowledges. You are fully seen, and because you are fully seen, you are fully loved.
Let us now consider the physical eye, for it is a masterpiece of divine engineering. Scientists tell us that the human eye can distinguish up to ten million colors. It can adapt from bright sunlight to dim starlight, adjusting its sensitivity by a factor of one billion. It can process images faster than any supercomputer. It can focus on objects both near and far with incredible precision. The cornea, the pupil, the lens, the retina, the optic nerve—each part works in perfect harmony to give us the gift of sight.
But why two eyes? Why did God give us binocular vision? The answer is depth perception. With one eye, the world appears flat. With two eyes, we perceive depth. We can judge distances. We can see things in three dimensions. This is not accidental. Spiritually, this teaches us that we need two perspectives to see clearly. We need the perspective of the law and the perspective of grace. We need the perspective of justice and the perspective of mercy. We need the perspective of the Old Testament and the perspective of the New Testament. We need to see with both the eye of faith and the eye of wisdom. When we use only one spiritual eye, our vision becomes flat, distorted, incomplete. But when we use both eyes—when we see things from multiple angles—we perceive depth. We understand the fullness of truth.
Furthermore, our physical eyes require light to function. In total darkness, even the sharpest eyes are useless. This is a spiritual parable. Jesus declared in John 8:12, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Without Christ, we are in spiritual darkness, and our spiritual eyes cannot see. We stumble through life, making decisions based on limited information, walking paths that lead to destruction. But when we receive Jesus, the light comes on. Our spiritual eyes begin to function. We see truth clearly. We see the path ahead. We see the snares of the enemy. We see the beauty of God.
This is why the Apostle Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:18-19, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.” Notice that Paul does not pray for their physical eyes. He prays for the eyes of their heart. He prays for spiritual enlightenment. He knows that the deepest seeing is not done with the physical eye, but with the spiritual eye. When the eyes of your heart are enlightened, you see hope. You see inheritance. You see power. You see what natural vision can never perceive.
Now we come to one of the most critical truths in this entire message: the eye is a gateway. It is not a neutral organ. It is a door through which things enter your soul and influence your spirit. What you see shapes what you think. What you think shapes what you desire. What you desire shapes what you do. And what you do shapes who you become. Therefore, the eye is the starting point of transformation—either for good or for evil.
Jesus Himself taught this with stunning clarity in Matthew 6:22-23. He said, “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” This is a profound statement. The eye is like a lamp that illuminates the entire body. If the eye is healthy—if it is focused on good things, on pure things, on true things—then the whole body is filled with light. But if the eye is unhealthy—if it is focused on evil, on impurity, on darkness—then the whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light within you is actually darkness, Jesus says, how great is that darkness!
This means that the condition of your vision determines the condition of your entire life. You cannot have a healthy spiritual life while feeding your eyes on unhealthy things. You cannot have a pure heart while gazing at impure images. You cannot have a peaceful mind while constantly observing violence and chaos. The eye is the gateway, and what enters through that gateway either nourishes your soul or poisons it.
We see this truth illustrated in the very first sin. In Genesis 3:6, we read about Eve: “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.” Notice the progression. It began with what she saw. She observed the fruit. She looked at it. She considered its appearance. And what she saw awakened desire. That desire led to action. That action led to sin. And that sin led to the fall of humanity. It all started with the eye.
The enemy knows the power of the eye. This is why he bombards our generation with images. Television, internet, social media, advertising—all of these are designed to capture your eye and, through your eye, capture your soul. The enemy places before you images of lust, hoping that what you see will lead you into sexual sin. He places before you images of wealth and luxury, hoping that what you see will breed covetousness and greed. He places before you images of violence and chaos, hoping that what you see will create fear and anxiety. He places before you images of other people’s success, hoping that what you see will produce jealousy and comparison.
But the eye can also be a gateway for good. When you behold the beauty of God’s creation, your heart is lifted in worship. When you read the words of scripture, your mind is renewed with truth. When you look upon the face of a loved one, your spirit is warmed with affection. When you observe acts of kindness and compassion, your soul is inspired to do the same. What you see can fill you with light as surely as it can fill you with darkness.
This is why Job made a covenant with his eyes. In Job 31:1, he declared, “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.” Job understood that he could not trust his natural inclinations. He knew that his eyes would wander if he did not establish boundaries. So he made an agreement with God about his vision. He said, in effect, “Lord, I am going to guard what I look at. I am going to be intentional about my gaze. I am not going to let my eyes lead me into sin.”
Child of God, have you made a covenant with your eyes? Have you established boundaries for what you will and will not watch? Have you asked the Holy Spirit to guard the gateway of your vision? If not, today is the day to do so.
We must also understand that the enemy observes us. Satan is not omniscient—he does not know everything like God does—but he is a careful student of human behavior. He watches. He studies. He looks for patterns. He identifies weaknesses. He waits for opportune moments.
First Peter 5:8 warns us, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” A lion does not attack randomly. It observes its prey. It watches from a distance. It studies the herd, looking for the weak, the sick, the isolated, the distracted. Then it waits for the right moment to strike. This is exactly how the enemy operates. He observes you. He watches your habits. He notes when you are spiritually strong and when you are spiritually weak. He pays attention to your relationships, your emotions, your thought patterns. And when he sees an opening, he attacks.
But here is the good news: the enemy’s observation is limited, but God’s observation is complete. The enemy sees your outside, but God sees your heart. The enemy sees your present, but God sees your future. The enemy sees your weaknesses, but God sees the strength He is developing in you. And most importantly, the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. First John 4:4 assures us, “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” God’s observation of you is stronger than the enemy’s observation of you. God’s watch over you is greater than the enemy’s watch against you. You are safe in the palm of His hand.
Nevertheless, we must not be naive. We must be aware that we are being observed by the kingdom of darkness. This awareness should drive us to prayer, to vigilance, to dependence on God. It should cause us to examine our lives and close any doors that give the enemy access. It should motivate us to put on the full armor of God so that we can stand against the schemes of the devil.
There is a tragedy in the body of Christ that must be addressed. Many people have physical eyes that function perfectly—they can read, they can drive, they can recognize faces—but spiritually, they are blind. They cannot see what God is doing. They cannot discern the times. They cannot perceive the presence of the Holy Spirit. They cannot recognize the schemes of the enemy. They walk through life with 20/20 physical vision but zero spiritual vision.
Jesus encountered people like this. In John 9, He healed a man who had been blind from birth. The religious leaders, the Pharisees, investigated this miracle. They questioned the man, they questioned his parents, they questioned Jesus. And at the end of the chapter, Jesus made a stunning statement in verse 39: “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” Some Pharisees who were with Him heard this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?” Jesus replied, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
The Pharisees had perfect physical sight. They could read the scriptures. They could observe the miracles. They could see Jesus standing right in front of them. But spiritually, they were completely blind. They could not see that Jesus was the Messiah. They could not see that God was doing a new thing. They could not see that their religious system was missing the point. They claimed to see, but their claim only made their guilt worse.
This is a warning to us. It is possible to attend church, to read the Bible, to sing worship songs, to go through all the religious motions, and still be spiritually blind. It is possible to have knowledge without revelation, information without transformation, religion without relationship. The eyes of your heart must be opened. You must receive spiritual sight from the Holy Spirit.
What does spiritual blindness look like? It looks like seeing worldly success but missing God’s calling on your life. It looks like seeing temporary pleasure but missing eternal consequences. It looks like seeing faults in others but missing your own need for transformation. It looks like seeing the physical realm clearly but being completely oblivious to the spiritual realm. It looks like seeing the seen but not the unseen, the temporal but not the eternal, the natural but not the supernatural.
If you suspect that you have areas of spiritual blindness, cry out to Jesus with the same words the blind man cried out in Mark 10:51: “Rabbi, I want to see.” Jesus still opens blind eyes. He still gives sight to the spiritually blind. He still says, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”
Because the eye is so powerful, because it can be a gateway for either good or evil, we must pray specifically about our vision. We must ask the Holy Spirit to sanctify our eyes—to set them apart for holy purposes, to protect them from unholy influences, to train them to see what God wants us to see.
This is the prayer we must pray:
“Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I come before Your throne and I ask You to sanctify my vision. Lord, I recognize that my eyes are a gateway. Through them, either light or darkness can enter my soul. So I ask You today to make my eyes blind to evil. When the enemy places temptation before me, let me not see it as desirable. When the world parades its pleasures before me, let me not be captivated. When images of lust, violence, greed, or comparison come across my path, let my spiritual eyes be closed to their allure. Make me blind to anything that would separate me from You.
“But Lord, at the same time, open my eyes to righteousness. Open my eyes to Your truth. Open my eyes to Your beauty. Open my eyes to the needs of people around me. Open my eyes to the opportunities You place before me. Open my eyes to the schemes of the enemy. Open my eyes to Your presence in my daily life. Let me see the way You see. Let me perceive what Your Spirit is doing. Let me discern the times and know what Your people should do.
“Give me the gift of holy observation. Teach me to observe Your laws with joy, to observe Your creation with wonder, to observe Your people with compassion, to observe my generation with wisdom. Align my vision with heaven’s vision. Let the eyes of my heart be enlightened so that I may know the hope to which You have called me, the riches of Your glorious inheritance, and the incomparably great power available to me as Your child.
“I make a covenant with my eyes today. I will not set before them anything worthless. I will guard what I watch, what I read, what I dwell on. I will fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, knowing that my help comes from You. I will look not at what is seen, but at what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
“Thank You, Father, for hearing this prayer. Thank You for sanctifying my vision. Thank You for opening my eyes to Your glory. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.”
If we are to live as people with the Eye Observant, we must know what to observe. The Holy Spirit directs our attention to specific things that will nourish our souls and guide our lives.
First, we must observe God’s laws. The psalmist wrote in Psalm 119:18, “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.” The Word of God is a treasure house of wisdom, but we need spiritual sight to see its wonders. When you read scripture, do not just scan the words. Observe carefully. Look for patterns. Notice the character of God. Pay attention to the promises. See how God deals with His people. The more you observe God’s Word, the more it transforms your life.
Second, we must observe God’s creation. Psalm 19:1 declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Every sunrise is a sermon. Every flower is a parable. Every star is a testament to God’s majesty. When you observe creation with the Eye Observant, you see the Creator behind it all. You see His artistry, His power, His attention to detail. Creation becomes a constant source of worship and wonder.
Third, we must observe God’s people. Philippians 2:3-4 instructs us, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” When you observe others with the eyes of Christ, you see their needs before they ask. You see their pain beneath their smile. You see their potential beyond their failure. You become sensitive to the moving of the Spirit in their lives. You learn to encourage, to comfort, to challenge, to love.
Fourth, we must observe our generation. First Chronicles 12:32 commends the men of Issachar who “understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” We need this same anointing today. We must observe the signs of the times. We must understand what God is doing in this season. We must perceive the spiritual condition of our culture. We must know how to pray, how to speak, how to act in ways that are relevant to our generation. This requires the Eye Observant.
Fifth, we must observe ourselves. Second Corinthians 13:5 urges us, “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.” Holy self-observation is not self-condemnation. It is honest assessment in the light of God’s Word. It is asking hard questions: Am I growing? Am I walking in love? Is my heart pure? Are there areas of sin I need to address? Am I using my gifts for God’s glory? This kind of self-examination keeps us humble and dependent on God’s grace.
Sixth, and most importantly, we must observe Jesus. Hebrews 12:2 commands us to be “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.” This is the ultimate focus. When you observe Jesus, everything else comes into proper perspective. Your problems shrink in the light of His majesty. Your fears dissolve in the warmth of His love. Your confusion clears in the wisdom of His teaching. Your weakness is strengthened by His power. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Behold Him. Gaze upon Him. Observe Him in the scriptures, in prayer, in worship, in the fellowship of believers. The more you see Him, the more you become like Him.
There is a spiritual principle that we must grasp: what you behold, you become. Second Corinthians 3:18 states it clearly: “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
Notice the progression. First, we behold. We contemplate. We fix our attention on the Lord’s glory. Then, as we behold, transformation happens. We are changed. We become more like what we are looking at. This is not a passive process, but it is not something we accomplish through our own effort. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. As we gaze upon Jesus, the Spirit transforms us into His image.
This is why the Eye Observant is so important. If you behold the world, you become worldly. If you behold the flesh, you become carnal. If you behold the devil, you become fearful. But if you behold Jesus, you become like Him. Your character is conformed to His character. Your desires align with His desires. Your actions reflect His actions. You radiate His glory.
Think of the example of Moses. When he spent time on the mountain with God, when he beheld the glory of the Lord, his face shone. He did not know it, but those around him could see that he had been in the presence of God. The same will happen to you. When you consistently behold Jesus, when you make Him the focus of your attention, His glory will rub off on you. People will notice that you have been with Jesus. They will see something different in you. They will be drawn to the light that shines from your life.
We live in a time of unprecedented visual stimulation. Screens are everywhere. Televisions, computers, tablets, smartphones—each one bombards us with images. The average person sees more images in a day than our ancestors saw in a lifetime. This is both a blessing and a danger.
It is a blessing because we have access to information, education, and inspiration like never before. We can watch sermons from around the world. We can see the beauty of God’s creation in high definition. We can connect with loved ones face to face through video calls. Technology has given us incredible visual gifts.
But it is also a danger because we are exposed to more temptation, more impurity, more violence, more deception than any generation in history. The enemy uses these screens to infiltrate our minds and hearts. Images that would have shocked previous generations are now commonplace. Content that would have been hidden is now available at the click of a button.
Therefore, we must be intentional about guarding our eyes. We must set boundaries. We must use technology wisely and not let it use us. We must ask questions like: What am I watching? How much time am I spending staring at screens? Is what I am seeing drawing me closer to God or pulling me away from Him? Am I feeding my spirit or feeding my flesh?
Psalm 101:3 gives us a powerful commitment: “I will not look with approval on anything that is vile.” This must be our declaration. We will not approve of what God disapproves. We will not gaze upon what dishonors Him. We will not let our eyes linger on images that defile our souls. We will guard our gates because we know that what enters through the eye shapes the soul.
Before we close, I want to return to the truth that God sees you. This is not just a warning—it is a comfort. It is not just about accountability—it is about intimacy. The God of the universe, the Creator of all things, the King of kings and Lord of lords, sees you. He knows your name. He knows your face. He knows your story. He knows your struggles. He knows your dreams. And He loves you.
In Psalm 139, David marvels at this truth. He writes in verses 1-4, “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.” Then in verses 17-18 he exclaims, “How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.”
God thinks about you constantly. His attention is on you not because He is watching for you to fail, but because He delights in you. He sees you the way a loving father sees his child. He sees you the way a devoted husband sees his bride. He sees you the way a skilled artist sees his masterpiece. You are the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8). You are constantly in His sight, and His sight is always filled with love.
When you feel invisible to the world, remember that you are visible to God. When you feel overlooked and forgotten, remember that God sees you. When you feel alone in your struggles, remember that El Roi, the God who sees, is with you. His eyes never close. His attention never wanders. His love never fails.
Children of God, the message of the Eye Observant is a call to wake up. It is a call to recognize the power of vision, both natural and spiritual. It is a call to understand how God sees us and to learn how we must see. It is a call to guard our eyes from evil and to focus them on what is good. It is a call to behold Jesus until we become like Him.
Let me leave you with these final truths:
First, God sees you completely. There is nothing hidden from His sight. He knows your heart, your struggles, your hopes, your fears. And He loves you unconditionally. Rest in the security of being fully known and fully loved.
Second, your eyes are a gateway. Guard them carefully. Be intentional about what you watch, what you read, what you dwell on. Make a covenant with your eyes to avoid what is worthless and to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8).
Third, ask the Holy Spirit to open your spiritual eyes. Pray for revelation. Pray for discernment. Pray for wisdom. The eyes of your heart need to be enlightened so that you can see the hope, the inheritance, and the power that belong to you in Christ.
Fourth, behold Jesus daily. Fix your eyes on Him. Study His life in the Gospels. Talk to Him in prayer. Worship Him in spirit and truth. Observe His character, His compassion, His power, His wisdom. The more you behold Him, the more you will become like Him.
Fifth, live as one who is seen. Because God sees you, live with integrity. Because God sees you, live with courage. Because God sees you, live with purpose. You are not invisible. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. The God who sees you goes with you, before you, and behind you. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Let us close with a prayer:
Father, we thank You for this word. We thank You for opening our eyes to the truth about vision. We thank You that You are El Roi, the God who sees us. We thank You that Your eyes never close, Your attention never wavers, Your love never fails.
Today, we ask You to sanctify our vision. Make our eyes blind to evil and open to righteousness. Help us to guard the gateway of our souls. Give us the discipline to avoid what is harmful and the wisdom to focus on what is good.
Open the eyes of our hearts. Enlighten them so that we may know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of Your glorious inheritance, and the incomparably great power available to us who believe. Let us see Your hand in our lives. Let us perceive Your presence in every circumstance. Let us discern the times and know what to do.
We fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. We behold Him. We gaze upon Him. And as we behold, transform us into His image, from glory to glory, by Your Spirit.
Thank You for seeing us. Thank You for loving us. Thank You for calling us Your children.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Now go in peace. Go with your eyes open to the things of God. Go with your vision sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Go knowing that the Lord watches over you and will keep you from all harm. May the blessing of El Roi rest upon you today and forevermore.
Shalom Children of God. 🙏👁️
Amen and Amen.
