Ever Since You Rose ...

Ever since you rose from your bed this morning there has been an eye watching you! Wherever you have been and whatever you have been doing that eye has seen you. It has gone with you to your work. It has seen you with your companions. It has been on you when you were alone.


It has seen not merely all that you have done, but why you did it. Your thoughts, your feelings, your motives, which even your nearest friend has not fully known have all been open to that eye of which I speak. For it is an all-seeing eye the eye of God!




Have you thought of Him whose eye has been upon you today? Have you given so much as one thought to Him, since the day began?  You have need to pray, great need for you are dependent upon God for everything. You are entirely in His hand!  If you went to your work this morning strong and well it was only because God made you so and kept you so.


If you have had enough to eat today, if you are clothed comfortably and have a home to live in it is only because God supplies your needs. You would have nothing if God did not supply you. You live only because He gives you life. He could take all your comforts from you if it pleased Him. He could lay you on a bed of sickness this very day He could in a moment, strike you dead!
Have you even spoken to Him today? Have you prayed to Him today?
