I will live in His sight

Recently in my devotions, I was reading through the book of Hosea. Most of us are familiar with the powerful theme of the book; an amazing, unconditional love illustrated by the life of Hosea. Yet something else caught my attention as I read.
Though God, through His prophet, spoke of the great judgment to come He did not leave His people in despair but instead with the promise of a coming restoration. Just like a good parent, God had to deal with the sin of the nation of Israel but He reminds them that they are still His beloved child.
​In chapter six verse two I was struck by a specific phrase, "We shall live in His sight." Of course this is in reference to Israel's restoration journey that will take place after their captivity but I couldn't get away from the thought that I too live in His sight. As His child I live in the confidence that His eye is constantly watching over me.
​Parents watch over their children to make sure they stay safe. As their children attempt something new a parent can usually be found nearby ready to help if needed. My heavenly Father is always watching over me as I walk through life and His hand is ever ready to help me through a difficult time or situation because His eye is always upon me. I am never out of His sight, never forgotten and never forsaken. He is never distracted or too busy to see me. I am always in His sight.
​While the world lives in fear of what major catastrophe might be coming next, I can move with confidence because I am under the watchful sight of my Father and my God.
​When my life is over I will have the joy of being able to look into the eyes of my God. The One whose sight I was never out of and in whose sight I will forever dwell under.
