The Eternal Watcher

God is always thinking upon us; He never turns aside His mind from us, and has us always before His eyes! This is precisely as we would have it for it would be dreadful to exist for a moment, beyond the observation of our heavenly Father! His thoughts are always filial, tender, loving, wise and they bring to us countless benefits. Hence it is a choice delight for us to remember them.


The Lord has always thought upon His people, hence their election and the covenant of grace by which their salvation is secured.  He always will think upon them, hence their continual preservation by which they shall be brought safely to their heavenly rest.


In all our wanderings, the watchful glance of the Eternal Watcher is evermore fixed upon us! We never roam beyond the Shepherd's eye! In our sorrows He observes us incessantly, and not a pang escapes Him! In our toils He marks all our weariness, and writes in His book all the struggles of His faithful ones. These thoughts of the Lord encompass us in all our paths, and penetrate the innermost region of our being. Not a nerve or tissue, valve or vessel, of our bodily organization is uncared for. All the 'littles' of our little world, are thought upon by the great God!


Dear reader, is not this precious to you? The Lord lives and thinks upon you!  If the Lord thinks upon you, then all is well, and you may rejoice evermore!


[Charles H. Spurgeon]

Hebrews 4:13 … Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.




Psalm 139:17 …. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!


1 Peter 3:12 … For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
