Psalm 34:15

Psalm 34:15

The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help.

Every day presents us with many choices to do right or wrong. Most of the time these choices are subtle—exaggerating the truth, participating in gossip, being selfish rather than generous, or thinking about things we shouldn’t. These choices are especially difficult when no one is near to hold us accountable. Psalm 34:15 reminds us that God sees each and every choice we make—both good and bad. When things get tough for those who try to do right, he promises to give them special care by listening to their pleas for help and reaching out to assist. Ask God to make you aware when you come to a crossroads of right versus wrong and to help you choose the path that is pleasing to him.
