His eyes are on the ways of men; he sees their every step.” – Job 34:21 The 2014 Sochi Olympic Games faced the gravest threat of terrorism of any Games in recent history. To prevent any outbreaks of violence, the Russian government installed one of the most pervasive and expensive surveillance systems. The resort towns ring of steel, as Russian officials have described it, consisted of drones, soldiers, surveillance blimps, metal detectors, thousands of cameras, and other high-tech equipment, such as VibraImage, a scanning system that analyzes muscle vibrations in the neck and head to detect someone who appears unremarkable but whose agitated mental state signals an imminent threat, the New York Times reported. Additionally, the registration process for the mandatory Olympics spectator badge is, in effect, a background check for every visitor. The Russians claimed to have total surveillance at the Olympics. One of the most shocking revelations was surveillance cameras were installed in hotel showers. This led the U.S. State Department to warn Americans travelling to Sochi that they should have no expectation of privacy at the Olympics. No matter where you go, nothing thing escapes the notice of the Lord. Today in prayer, praise Jesus that His eyes are upon you and live your life in obedience to His Word. “Life is a tapestry: We are the warp; angels, the weft; God, the weaver. Only the Weaver sees the whole design.” – Eileen Elias Freeman God’s Word: “The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” – Proverbs 15:3
