THE VOICE OF THE WORD INSIDE

Psalms 11:4

Adonai is in His Holy Temple, the throne of Adonai is in Heaven:

His eyes behold, His eyelids try the children of men.

We can imagine the conviction that will fall upon each one of us at the end of this age, as we appear before our Lord and Master sitting on His throne in Heaven. We will experience the trying of His eyelids as He looks at us with loving reproach. We will then remember the wrong and hurtful things we did or said when in our mortal state, even though we most of the time knew better. But do we have to wait until that day to experience conviction?

King Solomon remarked that The eyes of Adonai are in every place, beholding the evil and the good (Proverbs15:3).

The prophet Zechariah tells us about God’s seven eyes which run to and fro through the whole earth (Zechariah 4:10).

The apostle Paul teaches us that our body is like the temple of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 6:19).

Our Beloved Master does not watch over from afar; us from Heaven on His throne; He does not shepherd us sitting far away on His throne; He is right near us; in fact, the Torah says that he is within us, within our hearts filled with His Words, and within our mouths as we speak His precepts to each other. Yeshua watches us from His temple inside of us, from, the heart of our souls, within our bodies.

May we be granted to know His presence in the heart of our body and soul just as if we were standing in front of Him in the throne room. May we experience the trying of His eyelids reproving the excuses that we so easily indulge in to justify our failings. Most of all, may we not sear the voice of the conscience that He has put inside of us, neither kick against the pricks of His Spirit (Acts 9:5).
