He Sees You

Jesus can see your troubles.

First, I want to start out by saying this. God is NOT, some old breaded guy, sitting on s throne, leaning over and staring at you, just waiting for you to mess up. No. He is not waiting for you to stumble or fall, fail or Sin, so He can throw you into Hell. Truth is, He condemns no Human Being at all.

Having said that, we do need to talk about this. Yes. He does see you. Yes. He is watching. Yes, He does this because He loves you.

It is easy to think you can hide from God. We read things like this in Genesis.

"And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”" Genesis 3:8-9

So see? You can hide from God. No. you can't. God saw what they did. Why do you think He showed up? He saw them. He also knew exactly where they were hiding. He called them out for them to come forward and confess their Sins and Repent. The first recorded event of this type. Since then, this IS the method. Come forward. Confess your sins, God forgives you.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9

But we would like to believe that unless we call out to God, He can't see us. We like to believe that He does not see that thing we are doing in private. He doesn't see our daily lives unless we invoke His name, we are somehow invisible to Him.

How sad would this be if it was to be true? Imagine if we were simply going on with our daily lives and a storm came up. Something terrible came. Something came upon us that could even cost us our very lives. And God could not see it? We did not have time to invoke His name, so I guess we would just die. This is simply not the truth.

"And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray. And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them, but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened." Mark 6:46-52

Lets fully examine this passage a bit more. First, notice this. They thought they were alone. They were simply going about their business. Although some would say they were going about God's business and not simply their own when a storm came upon them.

Notice carefully this verse.

"And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them."

Read that again. Highlight it. Underline it. Memorize it. "And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them." Jesus was not with them, yet He saw them. He was watching them. He saw them in trouble. What did He do?

"And about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking on the sea."

Now, wait a second. Notice this. "And about the fourth watch of the night," Was this right away? No. They were struggling to make headway. They were fighting their circumstances. They were suffering if you will. In His time, He what? "he came to them, walking on the sea." He came to them. But wait? Keep reading.

"He meant to pass by them, but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, for they all saw him and were terrified."

"He meant to pass by them," Wait. What? He saw them in trouble, and He meant to pass by them? He did not come to help them instantly? No. Why? Because He knew there was no threat. He was in charge of the situation the whole time. But they were fearful because they did not know the outcome. They were not in charge of the situation. They were terrified.

"and cried out, for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” "

So we see that He saw them. He delayed His coming to them because He knew the outcome. He was not worried about it at all. We also see that He heard their "Prayer." He heard it instantly, and He answered them. Then due to their lack of faith, He had to come to them and resue them.

"And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased."

There was never any real danger. They were going to do the Will of the Father. They were going to do what Jesus asked them to do. He was watching them. He was in charge of the situation the whole time. Nothing was going to happen to them that would prevent them from accomplishing what Jesus wanted them to do.

Yet they did not know what was to come. They did not truly understand all the things going on around them. They did not see the big picture. They doubted. They feared. They forgot who Jesus was and what He could do. Jesus saw them. He heard them. He understood them. He came and Saved them.

God is watching you. He sees you. He sees your struggles. He knows your Heartache, He knows the outcome. Trust in Him. He is in charge. With us on our own? It truly is impossible. But not with God.

"But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”" Matthew 19:26

Nothing catches Him by surprise. He can calm any storm. He can do all things. Simply trust He is watching, and know He is in charge. Do you know Jesus as your Savior? Have you been adopted into the Family of God? If not, say this Prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be. Say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will heal you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us Pray.

"Oh heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a Sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Jesus and His Sacrifice for me. I believe that He raised from the Dead. I repent my Sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Jesus, Amen!"

That's it. It really is just that simple. Now go tell someone what you have just done. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." {Romans 10:9} You need to find a Church that God leads you to, and be Baptized the way Jesus said to be. You are now a Child of God. A New Creature. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." {Colossians 3:10}
