How blind must they be, who think God to be blind!
(Be sure to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.)
"He says to himself: God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees!" Psalm 10:11
"They say: The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed." Psalm 94:7
"Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say: Who sees us, and who will know?" Isaiah 29:15
The wicked live as if God were neither omnipresent nor omniscient. They imagine that God is not in that secret chamber where they follow out their evil passions. They imagine that out of man's sight, is also out of God's sight. They act and live as if God were either dead, or else were blind and deaf--utterly oblivious to everything that is done on the earth. How blind must they be, who think God to be blind!
They imagine that God is absent either in person or in mind, and that in some secret places they can hide away from Him, and with impunity follow their own evil desires. But the fact that God is omnipresent, is a death-blow to sin! Nowhere in the universe is there a secret place to commit sin.
Christians! May we never fall into this absurdity! There is nothing concealed from His all-seeing eye. We must consciously live under His omnipresence.
Would I be willing to think, speak, and act as I do; if I were fully conscious at every moment, of standing in the immediate presence of the holy God?
"There is no darkness or deep shadow where the workers of iniquity can hide." Job 34:21-22
"'Can a man hide in secret places where I cannot see him?' declares the LORD. 'Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?' declares the LORD." Jeremiah 23:24
"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account!" Hebrews 4:13
