The Lord Knows Your Ways

Laurel Falls

The Lord knows the beginning from the end. He is outside time but works within time for us. He knows where we have been and where we are going. He knows our paths. We are the righteous in Christ. He knows our desires, longings, and wants. He fits them into the pathway He has for us. ^“For the LORD knows the way of the righteous” (Psalm 1:6 NKJV)

^“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous” (1 Peter 3:12). He has His eyes on us to watch over us like a protective father. He is not watching over us to catch us doing something wrong. I grew up thinking God carried a bat to bop us on the head when we did something wrong. But I was totally wrong. He doesn’t have a bat, and He’s not waiting for us to do something wrong.

He is watching over His children with eyes of love. He knows our ways; sometimes they are imperfect. He knows all about us and still loves us beyond measure. The Lord knows the way of the righteous—the believer.
