‏ Proverbs 15:3

The All-Seeing Eyes of the Lord

This proverb teaches an important truth about God: He sees everything that happens, everywhere, all the time. God’s knowledge covers every person and every action. This should warn those who do wrong and comfort those who do good .

v. 3: "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good" (Proverbs 15:3 a). God can see everything, and nothing is hidden from Him. He watches over all people, both when they do wrong and when they do right (Psalm 33:13 b). He is present everywhere, and He truly inspects every action; nothing escapes His notice. God not only sees, but He also cares and rules over everything that happens. This means secret sins, private good deeds, and personal sorrows are all known to Him. God also judges fairly: He knows who is evil and who is good, and He will reward or punish each person based on what He sees (Psalm 1:6; Psalm 11:4 c). For those who do wrong, this can be scary, but for those who do right, it brings comfort and encouragement.
