The eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love Psalm 33:18

I ask you these questions. . . are the eyes of the LORD on you? Are you one of those who fear him? Are you one of those whose hope is in his unfailing love?

Each of us must search our own hearts to answer these questions. Multitudes of people believe in Jesus, call themselves a Christian, go to church on Sunday, attend a Bible study on occasion, but how many are those who fear the Lord – reverence him, honor him, praise him and obey him?

Praise the LORD. Blessed are those who fear the LORD, who find great delight in his commands. Psalm 112:1

Do you find great delight in his commands?

How can you be assured that you truly fear the Lord?

Proverbs 2:1-5 will give you the answer . . .

My son, if you accept my words
    and store up my commands within you,
 turning your ear to wisdom
    and applying your heart to understanding—
 indeed, if you call out for insight
    and cry aloud for understanding,
 and if you look for it as for silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasure,
 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.

Let those who fear the Lord say: “His love endures forever”. Psalm 118:4
