After reading this I was reminded of my children, how they always say, “Daddy, look at me!”  when they want to show me a new skill, a newly discovered talent, or a conquered fear. Daddy’s attention gives them the affirmation they crave, and assures them of his good pleasure when they achieve.

The writer of Psalm 33 pictures God Almighty the same way. Not as someone watching out of curiosity, not as a strict overseer, nor as a casual passerby. No, he sees God as One who “considers everything we do.” What love, that God watches us tirelessly, we whose hearts He formed and knows so well!

Those who don’t know Him often think of His watchfulness as a negative thing, as though He’s always trying to “catch us in the act”. But the truth is, God really isn’t watching merely to tally our sins. Scripture says it is because we occupy a special place in his Heart (Psalm 8:4,5) and because His love for us is boundless (Psalm 36:5, 108:4), reaching to the heavens!!!  We command so much of His attention, oh the joy to please such a Daddy!!!
