God Sees Everything

Scripture Reading: Psalm 139

Focus Verses: Psalm 139:11-12

“I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night, but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.  To you the night shines as bright as day.  Darkness and light are the same to you.”

The United States Military has a new technology.  It’s called “Enhanced Night Vision Goggles.”  These glasses enable the soldier to see the enemy at night just as if it was day.  The enemy might think he is moving under the cover of darkness, but he is being watched.  You don’t want to lose these glasses because they cost about two million shillings.

Some people think that darkness covers up what they are doing.  They think that God doesn’t see in the dark.  But God sees.  There’s no secrets with God.  Night and day are the same to Him.  I don’t think anyone fully understands the awesomeness and power of our God.  God is all knowing.  As our scripture says God knows every detail about you.  He knows what you’re going to think before you think it.  God is ever present.  There is no place you can go that God is not there.  If you travel to the farthest star in the universe, God is there.  God is all powerful.  There is no one more powerful than God.  God controls the whole universe, yet He cares about you individually.  You might be facing a big mountain in front of you, and you don’t know how you can continue on.  Just remember you have an all knowing, ever present, all powerful God on your side.  And He already knows how He’s going to get you over that mountain.  

There’s an element of fear in knowing a God like this, but when we realize just how much God loves us then there’s an element of peace that should come over us.  Romans 8:38  says, “I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.  Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow, not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.”   Knowing that God sees everything should help keep us on the right path, and when we get off the path we can have peace in knowing that He’s there to guide us back.
