His unsleeping watchfulness.
J. R. Miller. 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 noonday
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
encouragement 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.
