A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

The eye of God

Let us have right notions of the omnipresence of God; wheresoever we move, we are in God. As there is not a moment but we are under his mercy, so there is not a moment that we are out of his presence. Let us therefore look on nothing without thinking who stands by, without reflecting on him in whom it lives, moves, and has its being. No thought is hid, no lust is secret, but the eye of God beholds this, and that, and the other…We may exclude the sun from peeping into our solitudes, but not the eye of God from beholding our actions. To deny God knowledge is to dash out the Scripture and demolish the Deity.  [Stephen Charnock]
