Back in the 1940’s when this writer was growing up, we would sing an old sacred song entitled, “Watching You.” The first verse says:<\/p>\n
“All along on to the road to the soul’s true abode, there’s an Eye watching you; Every step that you take this great Eye is awake, there’s an Eye watching you.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n The song exhorts us to faithfulness by reminding us that God is omniscient He sees and knows everything. Regarding God’s eternal presence, the Psalmist asked, “Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?<\/strong>” (Psalm 139:7).<\/p>\n The Psalmist goes on to observe that God is in heaven, in Sheol, and in the sea (Psalm 139:8-10). Even the darkness does not keep Him from seeing (Psalm 139:11-12). Like the little boy said when the man offered him a dime if he could tell him where God was “Mister, I’ll give you a dollar if you’ll tell me where He ain’t.”<\/p>\n Do you ever notice how people present their best table manners when they eat at a public restaurant among important people, or how they act when they are in the presence of a preacher or an elder of the church?<\/p>\n These two illustrations merely bear testimony to the fact that people act their best when they know someone is watching them. A truth that we sometimes forget is that the Lord is watching us allthe time!<\/strong> The Proverb writer observed, “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good<\/strong>” (Proverbs 15:3). He watches every step we take and He sees through every flimsy excuse offered in attempting to justify any unfaithfulness.<\/p>\n There’s an all-seeing Eye watching all of us Someone to whom our whole soul is laid bare (Hebrews 4:13; cf. Psalm 90:8). This fact should motivate us to do what the second and third verses of this old song exhort us to do:<\/p>\n “As you make life’s great flight, keep the pathway of right …. Fix your mind on the goal, that sweet home of the soul … Never turn from the way to the kingdom of day.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The chorus ends with our beginning thoughts, “Every day mind the course you pursue; Watching you, watching you, There’s an all-seeing Eye watching you.”<\/p>\n All along on the road to the soul’s true abode,<\/strong> As you make lifes great flight, keep the pathway of right,<\/strong> Fix your mind on the goal, that sweet home of the soul,<\/strong> Watching you, watching you,<\/strong> Back in the 1940’s when this writer was growing up, we would sing an old sacred song entitled, “Watching You.” The first verse says: “All along on to the road to the soul’s true abode, there’s an Eye watching you; Every step that you take this great Eye is awake, there’s an Eye watching you.“ … Continue reading ““There’s An All-Seeing Eye Watching You” – Bible study”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sermons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47206\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/sermons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
