Our Scripture reading today is 2 Chronicles 16:9, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout
the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein
thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars."
Part of our Bible reading and study should involve seeing what others did and
not going that direction. That is what we find in this verse. Asa and the people
were not loyal to principles and plan of God. They had an unlimited power
Source, but sadly they chose to live life by their plans.
The same LORD mentioned in this text is ready and able to guide our lives for
His glory. He is more than enough! “What an exquisite thought is suggested by the allusion to
the eyes of the Lord running to and fro throughout the whole earth! At a glance He takes in our position;
not a sorrow, trial, or temptation visits us without exciting his notice and loving sympathy. In all the
whole wide earth there is not one spot so lonely, one heart so darkened, as to escape those eyes.”
(Meyer) Let God have His way and it will be much better than our way.
