Are you comfortable with that? You may have been “caught on camera” a dozen or more times today without even noticing it. Enter an airport, a post office, a hospital, an office building, a school—even a school (especially a school!)—and you will probably have been electronically noticed and remembered.
How about sending an e-mail, using the Internet, or just making a call on your cell phone—is someone keeping track? Are you comfortable with that?
It is scary enough to think about that, but how small that is compared to the all-seeing eye of God! There is a God who sees and knows all about you, about me, about every one of us. He is the God who knows even the thoughts and intentions of your heart, “neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight; but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do”!
All the electronic marvels of today or the future will never equal that—or frame a defense against it. Are you comfortable with that?
Comfortable? Absolutely! To trust in Him is the most comfortable feeling on earth. No, beyond a feeling, it is a fact, an almost unbelievable fact that the eternal God, the maker of heaven and earth, has a special care for every individual who believes in Him. “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:1212But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12)).
Think of it, if you can! We become sons of God—eternally secure—and are “kept by the power of God.” We may worry and fret, but if we have believed in and received Him, our very human fears and doubts can change nothing. We are safe, we are kept—we are loved!
Yes, we are very comfortable with this!
