<< January 28 >>
If I have sinned, what have I done to you,
        O watcher of all humanity?
Why make me your target?
        Am I a burden to you?
Insight
Job referred to God as a watcher or observer of humanity. He was expressing the feeling that God seemed like an enemy to him--someone who mercilessly watched him squirm in his misery. We know that God does watch over everything that happens to us.
Challenge
We must never forget that he sees us with compassion, not merely with critical scrutiny. His eyes are eyes of love.
