For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord..

I've been thinking about this conference I attended at Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY this past weekend pretty much nonstop since I got back.. Processing the wise words we heard through I believe 7 different sessions and a mulititude of speakers.. All men who daily walk along the side of the Creator of the world.

One of the most significant stories I heard was a man talking about his 9-old-son.. Dr. Stinson told about his boy wanting to see a movie and he said "Daddy, when do I get to see that?" and his response was, "Son, do you think I would ever withold something that is good from you?" and his son replied, "Yes." Dr. Stinson's eyes were filled with tears when he repeated this-- as if an open wound was revealed to us. He then said "that is Satan attacking my family."

I'm still chewing on this.. how true it is that Satan seeks to destruct our most precious relationships. But also how true it is that God would never withold something that He intends for good for us. That is refreshing. My God has given me ALL that I need for good and happiness. How could I desire more or question His gifts?


Tonight we cried out to El Roi- which means "God is omnipresent" ...whose eyes are never shut-- to the One who never sleeps.
The One that is fully aware of my every need

"For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He watches all his paths." (Proverbs 5:21)

He is aware of all that I need, all that hurts, all that feels good, Everything.
