“Are you watching me?”
My 6-year-old son puts on shows. Willy Wonka, Moses in the wilderness, Box Car Children- you name it, and he acts it out. And he always asks this question.
“Are you watching me?”
Half the time, I’m not. I mean to be, but I’m also human. I’m trying to tackle things like bills, emails, text messages, phone calls, dishes, laundry, dinner…you get the point.
The fact of the matter is, our parents didn’t watch us non-stop either. I know there were times I put on shows and my mom or dad didn’t watch. It’s not because they didn’t want to, but because they were human.
But you know what? God is not human and He is watching. This fills the desires of all our hearts. The desire that says, “Someone, please, be watching me. Watch out for me. Watch me and know my ways. Watch me and protect me. Watch me and help me.”
God watches, carefully.
God is always with us.
“Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.” Ps. 139:7-8
God’s watched our days before they’ve even happened.
“Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.” Ps. 139:16
God’s intimate thoughts about us don’t stop.
“How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.” Ps. 139: 17-18
God is aware of our most intricate workings, habits and ponderings.
“You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.” Ps. 139: 3-4
He watches you to protect you.
“You hem me in behind and before.” Ps. 139: 5
God watches it all. Every song, dance, move, time you sit down, stand up, and twirl around. You are precious in His sight.

Kelly, it is such a great reminder than even if we think no one is watching, God is. He is always with us and His eye is on us. Love the reminder. thanks for the linkup too. Blessings
Isa 52:12 is one of my favorite verses. I’m so thankful that God has our back…and our front and our sides… Thanks, Kelly.
GREAT post, Kelly! So wonderful to link-up with you today! Blessings! 🙂
Kelley, this week the Lord has been reminding me that He is watching me and taking care of me. And here’s more reminders! I’m going to add these verses to the two I already have been reading this week. He’s good like that to confirm the messages He has for us. Thank you!
Thank you Kelly, the heading Is 52:12 was like a lightening bolt to my spirit this morning, in a really good way!
I needed this reminder today, that He indeed goes before me & as well as having my back, in all things that are happening in my life!

Psalm 139 is my favorite, and I’ve spent so much time picking it apart and teaching it to children in summer camp through the years. To know God is this in tune to everything about us and remains constantly vigilant is EVERYTHING!
