For Your Viewing Pleasure

"For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths." Proverbs 5:21

There are sometimes in life that we LOVE that verse. When you help someone out, or buy the meal for a family behind you without them having any idea, or take the time to do things around the house because you love the others in the home (not because it's your job), etc. There are millions of things we are so glad are in full view of the Lord. It's the other things that cause us to hate that verse. To make it worse it says "He examines all our paths." So not only can he see the bad things, he knows our heart when we do the good things. So he knows if we are doing those things just to get praise. Think about this verse. Think about why you perform your daily activities. Why do you help others? God's glory is going to show through no matter what we do. Satan on his best (or worst) day can not put a shade tree in the way of his bright and beautiful glory. Can you imagine how great it will be when we are always in the midst of his glory? Can you imagine how great things can be now when we pray that he always will use us to farther his glory.
