The eyes of the LORD
are in every place
keeping watch
on the evil
and the
good.
Proverbs 15:3
Somewhere, I've picked up the notion that I have to keep an eye out for myself, my kids, my world. Make sure we are all being treated like we are supposed to be treated. Entitlement---we deserve good, better, best.
It is freeing to take a step back and recognize there are eyes in every place keeping watch. The verse deals with not just over things but over people---evil and good. We are "kept" people. And every single person we deal with has been thought about in great detail and designed by God just the way they are. Maybe not in all their redeemed state. But always a marked person created by God. And God will use the evil and good in our own lives.
Behold. The Omniscient and Omnipresent Jehovah watches over this day as though He is looking down from a tower---so, the verb intimates. A Watchtower with a God Who knows all, sees all, and is very present still, moving into our lives. Hallelujah!

Proverbs is the Shame of Exposure or the Appeal of Wisdom. I'm being haunted or hunted. "With God's help, I shall become myself." Soren Kierkegaard.
Acts 2 - There was a rushing great and mighty wind that fell on the whole town, on that singular waiting room. Acts 2:1-4. That city felt the supernatural touch of a Powerful God. They had to know Something was happening in their midst. And the wintry blast of that Holy Wind prepares 11 souls and their close friends for the Gentle Gales of a Good God.
That Gentle Flame of Fire on each head signifying the Spirit burning up the dross of our lives and kindling deep devotion in our souls and filling us with Himself. That Holy Spirit, like fire, melts our hearts. Isa 6:7.
