Ps 33:16-19 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the EYES of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
That entire Psalm is just FULL of truth for us to draw from. But, for now, I will try to concentrate on this one section. Let's just set the paramaters for truth here. When the scripture is talking about God's eye on us.....it means that not only is HE watching us, but we have His favor. How do we have His favor? Reading just above this, it is evidenced by who or what we put our trust in.
Who do we rely on and cling to (trust)? What we can do....or what God can do? The Word clearly speaks here that no king (NO ONE......NOT EVEN YOU) can be saved by his strength. NOTHING (not your horses, cars, boats, guns, money, etc.) you have can give you true deliverance.
The answer lies where our hope resides. Our hope and trust must be in the Lord alone....then his EYES will be upon us (His favor) to deliver us from all kinds of calamities. Put your trust, your hope, all of yourself relying fully on...... His UNFAILING LOVE.
