Today's encouragement comes from Proverbs 15:3, where we find these words:
"The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good."This doctrine of God's omnipresence (His-being-in-every-place) is monument-al in importance. When we know we are being watched, we are especially careful to behave ourselves well. When we think no one sees us, we are in-clined to loosen up on our behavior.
. . . It is a form of atheism, to act contrary to the omnipresence of God. We should live in the knowledge that nothing—not even our deepest and most in-nermost thoughts—escape The Lord's perfect view. With this in mind, are we not glad that we are saved by faith in Christ, and not by our own allegedly "sufficient" deeds?
