His unsleeping watchfulness
"You are the God who sees me!" Genesis 16:13
Go where we may, we cannot get away from the calm, clear gaze of the Divine Eye! Neither in the blue depths of the heavens, nor in the dark abysses of the grave — can we hide away from God.
If we could take the morning sunbeams for wings and fly away on them with all the swiftness of light to the remotest bounds of space — we could not get beyond the reach of the Divine Eye.
If we creep into the darkness, darkness so deep and dense that no human eye can behold us — still God sees us as clearly as if we stood in the bright noon-day sunshine! Darkness hides not from Him. Night shines to His eye, as brightly as day.
When we know that God loves us, there is infinite comfort in this thought of His unsleeping watchfulness .
It is our Father who watches us! There ought also to be wondrous incitement and inspiration in this consciousness — while the Eye of divine love is looking upon us, we should always strive to be pleasing to Him in all things!
"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea — even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast!
If I say, 'Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,' even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You!" Psalm 139:9-12Back to Glimpses Through Life's Windows
