For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
--- 1 Peter 3:12
In 1 Peter 3:12, we are assured: “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.” This verse offers a comforting reminder of God’s attentive care and responsiveness to those who live righteously.
In a world where doing the right thing often goes unnoticed or even leads to opposition, this scripture reassures us that God is always aware of our actions and intentions. His eyes are upon us---not in a scrutinizing way, but as a loving Father who watches over His children with care and concern. He sees the efforts we make to live according to His will, even when others do not.
Moreover, the promise that His ears are open to our prayers emphasizes God’s readiness to listen. He is not distant or indifferent; rather, He is actively engaged in our lives, eager to hear our thoughts, concerns, and desires. This encourages us to approach Him confidently in prayer, knowing that our voices reach His attentive ears.
Living righteously is not about achieving perfection but striving to align our lives with God’s principles. It involves making choices that reflect integrity, kindness, and obedience to His Word. As we do so, we can take comfort in knowing that God is watching over us and is ready to support us in our journey.
Reflect on your own life. Are there areas where you feel unseen or unheard? How does knowing that God watched over you and listens to your prayers impact your perspective? Consider how you can deepen your relationship with Him, embracing the assurance of His constant presence.
