Zechariah 4:10.
The Greek name for God is Theos. It comes from the Greek root which makes up the word Theisthai, and that means, ” To see”. So God is the One who sees! God’s eyes refer to the all-knowing, all-seeing limitlessness of God, and yet at the same time His personal, ever-caring nature. Now does He see like men do? The content below exposes the uniqueness of God’s eyes.
Emotional.
God doesn’t only speak or show visions ! He often communicates with His eyes too. God’s eyes help Him to convey His feelings. The eyes He bears on His frowning face differ from those that appear on His smiley face. Now it takes spiritual discernment to ably tell what God says through His eyes at a time. Same eyes that show His displeasure, sadness, or anger now, at a different time may reveal His satisfaction, gladness or mercy. We can tell through His eyes if there’s an impending destruction or honour. We understand from Genesis 6:8 that Noah found favour in His eyes. What do you also find in the eyes of God when He looks at you? ( Ezekiel 7:4, 9; 8:18; 9:10 & Ezekiel 20:17 ).
Functional
It’s interesting noting that just as our parents who are able to guide us with their eyes, God also often leads us by His eyes. Which is why He says in Psalms 32:8, ” I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go…” It can be said that as God stares at our enemies with His stern, frightening eyes, they’re kept in check. That way, God safeguards and preserves His servants. Again, it takes only spiritual maturity to aptly descern what God does for us each time He stares at us. Then, we’ll know without necessarily hearing His Voice nor seeing His visions, that He strengthens us, tests us or disapproves of our steps.
( 2 Chronicles 16:9, Deuteronomy 11:12, Psalm 121:3-4, Psalm 11:4 )
Everywhere, Everytime !
Unlike men, God has seven eyes. These ever-opened eyes of God are all over, running and penetrating through the universe. God told Samuel that He does not look at the outward appearance, but the heart of men. Jesus was able to see nothing false in an approaching Nathaniel with whom He had no natural intimate relationship because He had the eyes of God – John 1:47-51. So permeating are God’s eyes that they reach out to the depths ! ( Zech 3:9; Rev 5:6, Prov 15:3 & 1 Samuel 16:7 )
Beloved, in order to secure and maintain these all empowering eyes of God, there’s The need to keep ourselves sanctified.
“For the eyes of The Lord are upon the righteous… ” 1 Peter 3:12. Hallelujah !
