From heaven the Lord looks
down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on
earth- he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
-Psalm 33:13-15 (New International Version)
Mankind today seem to be
generally oblivious to the fact that there is One supremely greater and higher
who governs this world. God is in control of life’s events even though we may
not be aware of it. Man has been too focused on his capacity to achieve everything,
transcending limitations, and trusting in his potentials.
Man’s success in the
world’s progress deludes him to believe he doesn’t need to appeal to God in the
way he lives. He doesn’t fear nor stand in awe of the God of creation, and some
even deny that God exists.
The Psalmist declares in no uncertain terms that God is
looking down from Heaven seated in His glorious throne. He sees the whole human
race. We can only marvel at what is implied in this vision.
God looks at the
entire human race, and nothing is hidden
from His sight. Man may think he has been let alone to pursue his own devises,
but God knows everything. The Almighty orchestrates the events and the
seemingly unrelated circumstances by the counsel of His own will. He oversees
all things. He observes from His
heavenly throne all who live on earth and
the things they do.
Man may think he is in
control. Rulers and government leaders may think they are in control in running
the affairs of their nations. It only seems that way. God’s sovereignty is
real. No one can thwart His plans. Reduced to the miniscule we are like ants in
the sight of God, which march to and fro, and He sees what we’re up to.
