God Sees Every Corner of Our Heart - All The LORD is near Daily Devotionals for 2025

Doth not He see my ways, and number all my steps?
Job 31:4

God Sees Every Corner of Our Heart
The light of Christ's eye is coming right down upon me. If there is one corner of my heart covered over, I am uncomfortable under it. I could not sit in the Father's house and have His eye meet one corner of my heart not brought out. I do not want one corner in it to be covered by the thinnest veil possible. It is a solemn but blessed thing to the soul, to have the eye of God coming right down into it. It is a very blessed thing that the One who has washed you in His own blood, and has undertaken to conduct you to heaven, has an eye that sees down into all the recesses of the heart, and can detect the least budding of evil.

When you have been doing what you thought good, He may have seen evil lurking, and Satan near you; and He has discovered it to you and enabled you to judge it in the light, so that it will not have to be judged hereafter. He will go through all hereafter, if we don't do it now. He will talk to His people about their walk, and the effect will be perfect blessed confidence between your soul and the Lord. If I commit any sin now, the discovery of it in the light is attended with conflict and agony: then He will tell me how He met me and probed me that I might have every thought brought out. It is a solemn and blessed thought that God expects you to walk as one in His presence.

Paul knew his acceptance to be so perfect that he could look right up with an eagle eye into the light of God's presence, and say to all down here, "You have seen me dwelling in the light, and have seen the light shining out of me; everything in the very bottom of my heart has been made manifest in the light" (cf. ).

G. V. Wigram

That to the Savior's stature full

We nearer still may rise,

And all we think, or say, or do,

Be pleasing in Thine eyes.

P. Doddridge
