But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, I had never seen a blue heron on the lake at Fall Creek Falls until this early morning. It stood at the edge of the water watching for danger and for food. I was able to get an image from far away with a long lens but when I tried to move closer it saw me and flew to the other side of the lake. I thought about his watchful eyes. He was so still but he knew when I moved just the slightest distance. Knowing that we walk under the watchful eyes of God’s love we can replace fear with trust and despair with hope. When we face danger we face it knowing that we will forever live in Christ.
Prayer Lord of Watchful Eyes Teach us to look to you and to trust your watchful eyes when we face difficult times. Help us to move forward knowing that your unfailing love will give us courage. Amen

So beautiful! The reflection was caught perfectly and made me think of God-with-us. His watchful eyes above and all-knowing, yet His presence with us as we walk this journey. Thanks for sharing the beauty of creation with us, Karen.
