"He Is Here"


The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
Proverbs 15:3

"The person who fears God is conscious that God is aware of every minute detail, every mundane activity in his or her life. Such awareness serves as a check on temptation to sin. This doesn't mean living in constant fear that God is going to 'get us.' It does mean that because we're aware of His all-seeing eye and all-hearing ear, we love in a way that pleases Him as He sees what we do and hears what we say.

"The important thing to realize is that everything about us—not only every word and action, but also every thought and motive—lies before God as an open book. To fear God means living in this continual awareness of His presence and knowledge."
—Jerry Bridges, The Joy of Fearing God
