"The Unblinking Eye"

Have you ever done a staring contest with a friend to see who blinks first? It’s hard to keep our eyes open. But did you know that God’s eyes never blink? There’s not a split second when He doesn’t see our lives.

In the Hebrew world, the eye symbolized constant vigilance, care, and protection. Psalm 121 reminds us that God never slumbers; His eye is always on us. Jesus assures us, too, that He’s with us “always, to the very end of the age.”

So, despite how you may feel, God is never blind to our human experience.

I wonder if that’s how surfer Bethany Hamilton felt when she was attacked by a shark at the age of 13. She lost an arm and, by all accounts, should have died. Miraculously, she survived and, amazingly, returned to surfing just months later.

Hamilton credits God for giving her strength and resilience through the trial. Her journey reflects how God sees us fully, guarding and guiding us through life’s most harrowing moments, keeping His eyes on us with unceasing love.

God watched over her, and God watches over you.

Picture God’s unblinking gaze upon you, His eye keeping track of every path, every hardship. You’re not unseen; you are deeply known and profoundly protected. Rest in His vigilant gaze today—the God who sees you, keeps you safe, and never looks away.

God’s watchful eye is always upon you, guarding each step.

When you reach the end of your strength and ability, remember that God alone is the difference maker in your life.
