Watching the news reports of the Russian atrocities in Ukraine is a reminder that God sees every detail on the globe, whether Putin believes in a God or not. It’s obvious Putin does not think he will be held accountable for his decisions. The same is true with us. I want to finish faithful to the end as we have an appointed time when we will give an ccount for our lives.
2 Chronicles 16:9
[9] For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him…..”
Many people visualize a God who sits comfortably on a distant throne, remote, aloof, uninterested, and indifferent to the needs of mortals, until, it may be, they can badger him into taking action on their behalf. Such a view is wholly false. The Bible reveals a God who, long before it even occurs to man to turn to him, while man is still lost in darkness and sunk in sin, takes the initiative, rises from his throne, lays aside his glory, and stoops to seek until he finds him.
