“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings” (Proverbs 5:21).
You are I are God’s creatures, for He created man in His own image and likeness (Genesis 1:26). Because we are His special creatures, the Lord is very interested on us, and how we live our lives. The word “ponder” comes from a Latin word which means a weight, or to weigh something. In English it means to consider something carefully before making a decision.
When we realize that the Lord carefully considers our ways, it ought to make us think carefully about how we live. Many people today think that since God has so many things about which to occupy Himself, He is not really interested in individuals like you and me. But even though there are about eight billion people in the world today, God is interested in each one. He is especially interested in those who are truly saved, for through the death of His beloved Son, God paid a high price to redeem us. He wants to see us living our lives for Him.
