“For the eyes of
the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong
in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him…”
2 Chronicles 16:9
I
first recall having this verse click when Vincent Newfield came and shared a
devotion with my Ranger group one Wednesday evening. One of the verses he
shared was this one: that “the eyes of the Lord range (search) throughout the
earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him… (parenthesis
added, NIV1984).” That verse built my faith—as long as I was fully committed to
my God, HE would strengthen me. It was a promise that I grabbed to stand on. Are
you fully committed to the Lord? The Lord is looking about, yea searching, for
those who are.
Lord, thank You for sending this verse into
my life through the hand of Your servant Vincent Newfield. Lord, I pray that
all who read this will have the Holy Spirit illuminate the true condition of
their heart and that they will walk away with a heart that is fully committed
to You. Father, I know that I have forgotten this great moment and verse that
You gave me the privilege of experiencing in the past and I pray that You will
help me to remember it and share it so that others may see Your greatness and
be en-couraged by Your great Word as well. Amen.
