The Lord's omniscient gaze is a recurring theme in Scripture, emphasizing His constant awareness and attention to human affairs. According to Proverbs and 2 Chronicles, God's eyes are always watching, seeing all that happens on earth. In Psalms, the psalmist expresses gratitude for God's guidance, and in 1 Peter, believers are reminded that the Lord's eyes are on the righteous. Additionally, 1 Samuel illustrates how God looks beyond outward appearances, as when He chose David to be king, seeing not as humans see, but as the heart is.
