Pro 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
Pro 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Jer 16:17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
How solemn is the thought, that an invisible Being is ever at our side and watching us recording with rapid pen each deed and word, every desire that rises, though it is to burst like a soap-bubble, and every thought that passes, though on an eagle's wing.
We cannot shake off the presence of God!
When doors are shut, and curtains drawn, and all is still, and darkest night fills our chamber, and we are left alone with our thoughts-it might keep them pure and holy to say, as if we saw two shining eyes looking on us out of the darkness, "You, O God, see me!"
May God help you to feel yourselves at all times in His immediate presence!
How promptly then would every evil thought be banished!
What unholy deeds would be crushed in the desire, nipped in the bud, strangled in the birth!
What crimes would remain uncommitted.
How feeble would the strongest temptations prove!
What a purity, nobility, loftiness, holiness, heavenliness-would be imparted to your whole bearing and conduct!
Jer 23:23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
Jer 23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
