It was a simple three word statement, but the signature gave it the ‘punch’ it needed to catch my attention and cause me to ponder its importance. All it said was: I SAW THAT… and it was signed: – GOD
Most times when I think about God seeing me, or watching me, it strikes a certain amount of reverent fear in my heart, causing me to do the right thing. If I’ve already done something displeasing to God, and then remember that He’s seen it…it makes me want to fall on my knees, call out to Him, and repent.
However, we need to realize that God sees us in our sorrow and sadness as well. He sees when someone hurts us and He knows how it adversely affects us. He knows how the death of a loved one causes us much pain; how divorce affects not only the spouse, but the damage it does to the family as a whole; how bad health and disease affects not only the sick, but all those close to them; how wayward children bring agony upon the mother and father, at times making them lose faith. He not only sees…but He is there taking every step and walking through it all with us!
He also sees the good things we do. He knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts. He fully understands the intent in which we carry out our deeds –weather they be good or bad.
Perhaps we need to examine ourselves from time to time. We must ask ourselves “WHY?” am I doing this? Why do I speak the way I do? Do I praise God in private the same way I praise Him in public? Do I do things for others so I will be glorified? … Or is all I do, done for the glory of God?
REMEMBER:
I SAW THAT…
-GOD
