1448) The internet, smartphones and more bring so much information to us. It’s easy for an hour to be sucked up by reading newsfeeds, playing games and shopping. Having access to these things can overwhelm your heart, too. When I see the violence, bickering, cheating, obnoxious, conceited words and actions of people who hide behind a screen name, I wonder why God seems so silent. Does he see our political leaders acting in a manner that is not fitting for the offices they hold (or hope to hold)? It’s easy to mistake that God doesn’t.

Proverbs 21:12 reminds us the righteous one knows what’s going on; he sees it. The verse also says he will bring disaster to them. Sometimes this disaster can be a direct intervention by God himself. At other times, it may come as natural consequences.

Next time you wonder if God is indifferent or blind towards the evil all around us, remember that he sees and knows. This also includes our actions and reactions, too.
