Honey Drop 52 — The Eye That Knows the Way

eejoseph,

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; let me guide, my eye’s on you.” Psalm 32:8

The scene

A young disciple sits beneath an acacia tree, tracing lines in the dust. The path ahead is blurred by heat, the horizon wavering like a question. He squints, trying to read the land, but the world offers only fragments; a broken trail here, a faint footprint there. Then a presence settles beside him, not loud, not forceful, but steady as shade in the noonday sun.

Eyes left – eyes right – eyes 360

We strain to see what lies ahead, but our vision is always partial — angles, guesses, shadows. Yet the One who speaks does not guess. He guides with intention — a cohortative resolve — and His eye fills the gaps our eyes cannot. Where we see pieces, He sees the whole. Where we see risk, He sees purpose. Where we see only the next step, He sees the road’s end and its meaning.

Lexical Note: The verb counsel carries the cohortative force — not merely “I will counsel you,” but “Let me counsel you; I am committed to this.” And the phrase “my eye upon you” signals protective attention, the kind of guidance given not from a distance but from a presence close enough to see what you cannot.

Our partial sight is safe in His perfect seeing.

The drop

You do not walk by your sight alone. You walk by the gaze that never loses you.
