(Psa. 139:1.)
I HAVE sometimes been asked, after preaching, "Did anyone tell you anything about me?”
“No," I replied, "I know nothing of you.” “You might have known all about me, from what you have been saying to-night," said one.
“It was God directing the arrow; I only pulled the bow. He knew where the joints of the harness were, so that the keenly pointed barb could penetrate the conscience.”
There is power in God's Word. Happy is he who owns it, and bows to it.
Did you ever think that God reads you through and through, and there is no escaping His penetrating eye? (Heb. 4:12, 13.)
I like the little Sunday scholar's reply to her teacher, who was speaking about God being everywhere; and thinking it a hard question, said,
“Can you tell me where God is not?”
“Yes, sir," said a bright-eyed girl,” God is not in all the thoughts of the wicked.'" (Psa. 10:4.)
Ah! yes, the fool says in his heart, "No God"; and he would fain keep God from his thoughts..
(Psa. 14:1; 53:1.)
