Psalm 33:18
18 Behold, the eye [`ayin] of the LORD [Yahovah] is
upon them that fear [yare'] him, upon them that
hope [yachal] in his mercy [checed]; KJV-Interlinear
18
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his
steadfast love, ESV
Where is Gods focus? On those who fear or respect Him, not
pretenders, not dead beats, but namely believers in Christ who are obedient to
His mandates, and on them that look to
Him in His mercy, namely those who are advancing in their spiritual lives and
know and understand His mercy.
Gods focus is on
believers in Christ, not on unbelievers.
Gods focus is on Gods family,
not on strangers.
Gods focus is on those
who belong to His nation, not foreigners.
Gods focus in on those
believers who are positive toward His word and advancing in their spiritual lives,
not on those who are indifferent.
Unbelievers have the
gospel and common grace by which they can function in this world and believe at
anytime.
All believers receive common
grace as well as the better grace after salvation by which they can grow up in their
spiritual lives.
Believers that advance to
spiritual maturity, receive greater grace.
A grace that is far and above greater than anything imaginable for this
life as well as the next.
