ELDER: We Are Being Watched

In recent weeks some people have been focused on the night sky, not looking for flying reindeer or angels celebrating the birth of Jesus, but rather wondering about the many drones that have been spotted in certain areas. There have been all sorts of theories posed as to the reason for those mysterious robotic objects hovering in the darkness. Many people imagine that those drones may be carrying out some nefarious purpose. It tends to make people feel uneasy to think that someone could be spying on them, whether an individual, a foreign entity, or our own government. However, it does seem a little odd that individuals who seem to have no qualms about being tracked by security cameras, satellites, or smart phones get upset over the idea of those drones flying overhead.

Whether we like it or not, we are being watched. I am not referring to any of the aforementioned technology, neither am I suggesting that alien beings from outer space are keeping their eye, or multitudinous eyes, on us. I am referring to the fact that there is a God who is aware, watching, and present in our lives. He not only knows what is happening in the world around us, but He fully sees everything going on in our own personal lives. He not only looks in on what the public sees, but He is knowledgeable about all of our private moments, those actions and events that no other human being witnesses or is aware of. God’s spying capability even extends into the unseen area of our thoughts, attitudes and motives. He knows it all. He knows more about us than we know about ourselves.
