“THE EYES OF THE LORD ROVE THE EARTH LOOKING FOR THE RIGHTEOUS.” He is looking to discern His Own reflection. something “like” what He created or intended the creation to be. He searches, almost hunts for the “turned souls” etc–throughout history He roves, hovering over, considering, where to gaze into and who to gaze through! He wants to find things that make Him remember it was a good idea.
He considers the layers of meaning of each event–even in history, like the titanic. To fathom all the layers of what occurred and what that meant; many of the layers only God could know, as His Spirit searched the waters or heard last prayers…
WHEN HIS EYES LAND ON the righteous, HE CAN THEN LOOK THROUGH THEM. This is an image i am seeing, be patient with me. I see the Lord looking over the earth (esp the oceans), and when He comes on a righteous soul or gate of light, He is able to ponder there; then you bring in Jesus who basically allows Him to ponder over the whole earth. Righteous people are like God”s portals through which His Spirit can see- spirit to Spirit; deep calls to deep; His gaze penetrates the oceans in search of the righteous souls who shined and shine forth still.
THE RIGHTEOUS ARE MY EYES ON EARTH, THROUGH WHICH MY PERCEPTION POURS FORTH ONTO THE EARTH. GOD PARTNERS WITH HUMANITY IN SEEING WELL. IN PERCEIVING ACCURATELY–AS HE SEES. GOD’S EYES. They rove, then we, as watchers, rove with them. Perceiving is itself a great ministry on the earth. To see with His Eyes, as situation changes everything. And God perceives through us! through HIs People. He enjoys looking out through us!!! WE are like His lens through which He peers out over all His Creation.
