A Reflection On God’s Omnipresence

When I realize that God sees everything about me

Whatever we do, whatever deep motives prompt us to do it, wherever we go, and the reasons we go there, God sees. He knows our every impulse, whether good or bad. He has seen it all. That is more than a little disarming, but there is also great comfort in knowing about this all-seeing God. Why? Because once we realize that He sees us as we truly are, and understand that He has offered us this wonderful invitation to be saved and loved by Him anyway, we can relax in utter security. He has seen our worst, and it has not sent Him running in the other direction. He still pursues us. He still asks for our fellowship. He sees all, and it’s okay.

There is no fooling God—our acting ability is not that good. The best relationship with Him is an honest one. He learns nothing new by our honesty, but we cannot learn anything about Him without it. When we drop the pose, we find our security in Him rather than in our image. We know His love must be deep; He loves us!

The LORD is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.

Proverbs 15:3
