Ears & Eyes

eareyesight test

 

This could be subtitled “hearing and seeing”. These are two really keen senses that help me discern most any situation when I walk up. My ears are listening devices, but so are my eyes. I can assess quickly using both these senses. As I was reading this passage this morning, the eyes I was thinking of was the eyes of the Lord. He not only hears me – He sees me. Check this out…

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,

    but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,

    but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
3 The eyes of the Lord are everywhere,

    keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life,

    but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. (Proverbs 15:1-4 NIV)

 

What I do speaks so loudly that you can’t hear what I’m saying. I can use my words to calm a situation or pour gasoline on it and watch it explode. The Lord gave me wisdom to weigh my words carefully and use them appropriately. I shouldn’t talk too much, because I will be held accountable for my words as they reflect my heart.

Not only does the Lord hear everything – He sees everything. The proverb write offers encouragement to watch my words as the Lord watches over me.

Pressing On!
