Freedom Calls

As children of the one true God, saved by grace and faith in Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the profound truth that our Lord is a God who sees and cares for us. This truth is beautifully expressed in Psalm 33:13, “The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.”

Let’s explore this theme through scripture references and quotes from great Christian thinkers.

The God Who Sees

The Bible teaches us that God is a God who sees and knows everything. In Psalm 139:1-4, David writes, “O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.”

Charles Spurgeon, in his sermon “The God Who Sees,” reminds us that “God’s eye is upon us, and his ear is open to our cry… He knows our every thought, our every word, and our every action… He sees us in our darkest night, and in our brightest day.”

The God Who Cares

But God’s knowledge of us is not just a matter of observation; it is also a matter of care. In 1 Peter 5:7, we read, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” C.S. Lewis, in his book “Mere Christianity,” writes, “God is not a distant, uninterested spectator of the human scene. He is a God who cares, who loves, who is involved in the affairs of his creatures.”

A.W. Tozer, in his book “The Knowledge of the Holy,” reminds us that “God’s love is not a sentimental feeling, but a deep and abiding concern for the well-being of his people… He is a God who is moved by our tears, our sighs, and our prayers.”

The God Who Acts

But God’s care for us is not just a matter of feeling; it is also a matter of action. In Isaiah 43:1-3, we read, “Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee… For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour.”

Watchman Nee, in his book “The Normal Christian Life,” writes, “God’s love is not just a feeling, but a fact… He has acted on our behalf, and he continues to act on our behalf… He is a God who saves, who delivers, and who redeems.”

We are reminded that our God is a God who sees and cares for us. He is a God who knows our every thought, word, and action. He is a God who is moved by our tears, our sighs, and our prayers. And he is a God who acts on our behalf, saving, delivering, and redeeming us.

As D.L. Moody once said, “God is not a distant God, but a God who is near to us… He is a God who is willing to stoop to us, to come down to our level, and to help us in our time of need.”
