Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
The eyes of the Almighty are everywhere: within our innermost intimacy, as well as over the whole earth.
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
The eyes of the Almighty are everywhere: within our innermost intimacy, as well as over the whole earth.
The eyes of Adonai, behold with a penetrating look the evil and the good.
They observe; they examine men whether they are good or evil, keeping them closely before His eyes, so that nothing escapes Him.
This is an awesome reality, but do we walk in such a fear and respect of The Presence that we feel His eyes are over us at all times?
Driving the many roads that cross this city, I often notice how orderly every vehicle behaves, exactly at the speed limit, when around a police car. These drivers drive differently than they normally would; they clean up their act because at that moment, they feel the presence of the authority of the road.

Would we walk differently and would we clean up our act if we could see the Master right by our side wherever we went?
Whatever we did?
At every moment of the day?
Not seeking to over spiritualize the proverb, I still acknowledge that each and every word, their spelling and even their order within the Sacred Writs are not random but have a reason. By the order of the words, I see that the author of this proverb must have had a good handle in the knowledge and understanding of the program of the salvation of mankind. It would not be surprising, since this program has been written from before the foundations of the world, in the Scriptures as well as in the stars.
Our author here presents the fact that the Almighty first looks at the evil and then the good. In His redemptive program, in the same manner that Moses came down twice from the mountain, Yeshua comes twice. The first time, He saw the evil. He paid the price for our evil and even left us with a ‘Comforter’ to teach us: The Spirit of Truth. (John 14). The second time will be different. Having made the evil responsible for itself, He will be able to concentrate on the good, and extend rewards to those who deserve it. He does truly behold the evil, then the good. Let us therefore conduct our lives with the knowledge that like the police car on the road, His eyes are upon us at all times, beholding the evil, and the good in our daily walk.
