“Thou God Seest Me.”

By A. S. Hutchins

THE eyes of God are upon us. The divine record is: “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” Prov. 15: 3. The darkness cannot hide the sins of the sinner from his view, nor secret places cover them from his sight. “All things are naked and open unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” “There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.” Job 34:22. A faithful and impartial record is kept on high, of the manner in which we use our time and talents, and of the influence we exert upon our fellow-men.

“God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” And every one will be rewarded “according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”

Now we may sow to the flesh, and of the flesh reap corruption, or we may sow to the Spirit, and of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Those who will continue in sin and rebellion against God, will continue to treasure up to themselves wrath “against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”

While those who confess their sins, and forsake them, and turn with full purpose of heart unto God, and devoutly serve him, may find forgiveness, have their names written in the book of life, and finally enter the mansions of the blessed, the home of the saints purchased by the sufferings of the worthy Lamb of God. Reader, how stands the case with you? What prospect lies before you to-day? Are you in the broad road to death, or in the narrow way to life? O my precious Saviour,

“What thou abhorrest let me flee, And only love what pleases thee,” A. S. HUTCHINS.
