"Keeping Watch Over All"

 "If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they." (Ecclesiastes 5:8 KJV)

  "Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: "Love your neighbor as yourself." But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law. For a person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God's laws." (James 3:8-10 NLT)

 Okay, so I changed up the title; but I think I had a pretty good reason. This is regarding the small part of the verse that says: "for he that is higher than the highest reardeth." Which basically means, He is watching over everyone! There will be no excuse for anything that we have done, because He knows everything about what you do; even why you have done it, even though you may not have no clue; He knows our hearts better than we do! 

 If you don't catch what I am talking about, there is a very good example in Nathan's quick story to David, as he told David about the man that took his neighbor's little lamb, who was like one of his children, and fed it to a person visiting his home. When David heard this, he was furious and asked Nathan, "Who is that man?" Upon which, Nathan answered, "You are the man!"

 Technically, God sees the heart more than He sees the actual act, which is a whole lot more critical! The heart of man is full of more than just the simple action, because there are so many things that will take place, or not take place, that cause someone to make certain choices. He examines the heart, not just looking at it, but knowing the passions within and the hardness that needs to be broken.

 This is why we must ask Him to change our hearts! We have no clue what to do, but He does, and if we ask Him, He will change it! However! This is a lot like the vow issue: If we ask Him to change our heart, we need to be prepared for whatever He tells us to do: that we do it...

"But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves." (James 1:22 NLT)
