Ears and Eyes

11 

Even children are known by the way they act,
     whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right.

12 

Ears to hear and eyes to see—
     both are gifts from the Lord.


Verse 11

A good child behaves well. A bad child behaves badly. We test children by their actions.

God tests everybody by their actions. We all must do the things that please God. (Matthew 7:20)

Verse 12

God made our eyes and ears. Therefore, he knows how to see and to hear. God sees our actions. God hears our words. He knows the things that we have done. He is a fair judge. We cannot lie to God.

Verse 12 expresses wonder at the complexity of our eyes and ears. The author didn’t know about Darwinian Theory, but would likely have been amazed that some people believe such intricate organs could come from random mutations.

Think about this: Verse 11 reminds us that regardless of our upbringing, whether we were raised in wealth or poverty, each of us is ultimately responsible for our own actions.
