You are the God who sees me!

You are the God who sees me!

" You are the God who sees me! " Genesis 16:13

The ungodly desire to put the remembrance of this truth far away from them. Even if they succeed in doing so, the truth itself remains the same—they are seen of God continually, their most secret actions are open to His view.

To the Christian , the consideration of being under the eye of God is welcome and pleasant. Though he is conscious of continual failure in obedience and love—he knows that it is the eye of his tender and compassionate Father that is upon him, and that He for Jesus' sake forgives all his sins, and graciously accepts his imperfect service. The thought that God sees him . . .
  stimulates and encourages him in duty,
  sustains him in temptation,
  and comforts him in sorrow!

"You are the God who sees me"—and the work I have to do. Enable me to do it aright, to do it faithfully and well, to do it heartily as unto the Lord and not unto men.

"You are the God who sees me"—and the temptations which surround me. Uphold and preserve me; give me grace to watch and pray, and to resist the devil that he may flee from me.

"You are the God who sees me"—and my conflicts . Oh, strengthen me, that I may be a good soldier of Jesus Christ—that I may fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold of eternal life.

"You are the God who sees me"—and my sorrows . Oh, sanctify them to me, sustain me under them, and give me a good outcome—that I may glorify You!

Back to Every Day!
