The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.
(Psalm 14:2 ESV)
I love to watch my sons, especially when they don't know that I am watching. I like to watch them to see if they are doing what I teach them and the things that I have shown them. It especially brings me joy when I catch them mimicking the things that I do, like fixing their toys, or pretending to shave.
God is the same way. He is a proud father who is always watching His children. He watches to see if we will follow Him, to see if we are doing what He has taught us. And I'm sure, just like me with my kids, it brings Him immense joy when He "catches" us mimicking Him.
So let us endeavor to make our Father proud. To do as He has taught us, and to bring Him joy while He watches us do so.
