# 15. 2018 Dev. Ps. 33: 18,19. God’s Eyes! Read all of Ps. 33. The purpose of these devotionals is to draw closer to God and grow spiritually by applying His Word to our daily living. All passages are taken from the NIV.
Psalm 33: 18,19 “But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, 19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.”
This the last Psalm of a series starting at Ps. 25 and ending in Ps.33. In these Psalms David is struggling with failure, rejection, opposition from friends and enemies. He is pleading for God’s mercy and salvation. Ps.32: (See Dev. # 13) brings him great comfort, rejoicing and the blessings of forgiveness as it should for us. Ps 33, culminating this series, is a liturgy of praise and thanksgiving to God for His care for His people and for nations that follow Him. The eyes of the Lord are on them and on us!
Verses 1-3 is a call to worship, it is a call of all the righteous in God’s sight.
Verses 4-9 praises the power of God’s Word, it is “right and true”. By His Word the world was created and all people on the earth, let them “fear and revere Him” for His creative power.
Verses 10-15 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” God’s has His plans, He is sovereign, “his plans stand firm forever”.
Verses 16-19 It is not the power or glory of man that can save “but the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love”.
Verses 20-22 is the benediction: “We wait in hope, he is our help, our hearts rejoice, for we trust in Him. May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you”.
This Psalm speaks to us today; God is calling our nation back to Himself. He is calling all those who fear and revere the Lord to serve Him. God assures us that He is in control, He rules the nations and mankind. He promises us that His eyes are on us. Therefore, we wait in hope, we rejoice in His unfailing love, we trust Him for the future. We are in His hands! Thank you Jesus!
