God’s eye – Thomas Brooks

“Lord! all my desire is before You; and my groaning is not hidden from You.” Psalm 38:9

We cannot get into any blind hole, or dark corner, or secret place but the Lord has an eye there, the Lord will keep us company there. There is not the darkest, dirtiest hole in the world into which a saint creeps but God has a favorable eye there. God never lacks . . . an eye to see our secret tears, nor an ear to hear our secret cries and groans, nor a heart to grant our secret requests.

We cannot sigh out a prayer in secret but He sees us; we cannot lift up our eyes to Him at midnight but He observes us. The eye which God has upon His people when they are in secret, is such a special tender eye of love as opens His ear, His heart, and His hand, for their good. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayer.” 1 Peter 3:12

God’s eye is upon . . .
every secret sigh, and
every secret groan, and
every secret tear, and
every secret desire, and
every secret pant of love,
and every secret breathing of soul,
and every secret melting and working of heart.

As a Christian is never out of the reach of God’s hand, so he is never out of the view of God’s eye.
