Exodus 2:25 God saw the people of Israel--and God knew.  ESV

I think that in our everyday lives, we tend to forget this verse. God didn't just see the people of Israel, He sees us, and He knows us. He knows our every thought, our every action - EVERYTHING.  How many times do we stop and say - Oh Lord, I need your help, what I was doing was wrong! Do you think that if we keep our mind focused on the fact that God is watching our every move and thought, that we wouldn't do some of the things we do? I think we would definitely be better people. After all God's people should be seeking God's heart, and His heart is not mean and wicked. It's very easy to get caught up in the mean and wicked world, but we need to step back and realize that God has called us to be different, He has called us to be like Him. Remember that He is watching, and sometimes He does frown, but sometimes He smiles!
