I See You

The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. -Psalm 121:8

When my son was two, he darted into one aisle after another in a small shoe store. Hiding behind stacks of shoeboxes, he giggled when my husband, Alan, said, “I see you.” Moments later, I saw Alan dash frantically from aisle to aisle, calling his name. We raced to the front of the store. Our child, still laughing, ran toward the open door leading to the busy street outside. Within seconds, Alan scooped him up. He embraced us as I thanked God, sobbed, and kissed our toddler’s chubby cheeks.

A year before I became pregnant with our son, I’d lost our first child during the pregnancy. When God blessed us with our son, I became a fearful parent. Our shoe store experience proved I wouldn’t always be able to see or protect our child. But I discovered peace as I learned to turn to my only sure source of help—God—when I struggled with worry and fear.

Our heavenly Father never takes His eyes off His children (PSALM 121:1–4). While we can’t prevent trials, heartache, or loss, we can live with confident faith, relying on an ever-present Helper and Protector who will watch over our lives (VV. 5–8).

We may encounter days when we feel lost and helpless. We may also feel powerless when we can’t shield loved ones. However, we can trust that our all-knowing God never loses sight of us—His precious and beloved children.

How does God’s presence help you address your worries and fears? What does knowing that God has His eye on you and your family mean?

Heavenly Father, thank You for watching over me and those I love.
