For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout
the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless
toward him. 2 Chronicles 16.9
This is some
Scripture that can be of great encouragement to us as we deal with the
difficulties of this life. The heart of the verse is the support that God will
provide us, support that we need. And this is not just a little assist. This is
strong support, more than enough help so that we can respond well to whatever
it is that confronts us.
Some are
disheartened by the qualification that this support is given to the blameless.
But there is no reason to think that this does not include each of us. All that
this word is conveying is that God is looking for those saints who are
striving, who are endeavoring, in humble reliance on the grace of the Holy
Spirit, to live as becomes the followers
of Christ. If that is you, and I certainly hope that we all can say that it is,
then the promise of God's strong support is also yours.
