"For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord, and he
examines all his paths." Proverbs 5:21
"For" No matter what the situation, this is how it
is.
" a man's ways" anything and everything a man does,
how he lives, how he acts, the
choices he makes.
"are" not "might" or "can be", but "are" It's a
done deal. There is no escaping it, no matter
how private or personal.
"in full view" He doesn't see a shadow or even a
picture. He sees the real thing and
all of it. Nothing can be hidden from
His sight.
"of the Lord" Oh, you can hide many thigs from
people,
but the Lord sees it all, both good
and bad and everything in between.
"and" As if that's not enough, there's more.
"he" That is, the Lord.
"examines" That is to look it over very carefully,
checking every detail.
"all" Not a selected few, but every one. None miss
this examiation.
"his" a man's
"paths" Your ways are laid out on the path you choose
to take. This is the course of your life,
open before God.
