The statement above is both searching and comforting, depending upon our relationship to the Lord and our yieldedness to Him and His will. “His eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all his goings,” and “the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings.” Job, in the midst of terrible suffering, and misunderstood by his friends, comforted himself by asking, “Doth not He see my ways, and count all my steps?” Indeed He does this, “neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do,” for “the Lord looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men,” and “the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect [full] toward Him,” and He says also that “Mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from My face, neither is their iniquity hid from Mine eyes.” “Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for Thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways.” “Thou God seest me.”
“The Lord looked down from heaven,
Upon the children of men,”
To help all those who trust Him,
And also to deal with sin.
