Genesis 16:13

THOU GOD SEEST ME

GENESIS 16:13. “And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after Him that seeth me?” THOU GOD SEEST ME. Wherever one goes in the course of a day, There is One who looks over our path. He sees what’s ahead every step of the way, And He remembers each deed of the past.

Whatever one thinks when no one is around, God knows each thought of the mind; Whether it’s good or evil without the slightest sound, There’s not a thought I ever had He won’t find

Whenever I choose some action to take, I must always consider my Lord; Because all I do – any decision I make, Must be according to His will and His word.

However, I apply myself to life’s everyday tasks; Is a reflection on the values I already have. God knows my incentives – do I have to be asked, Or does my attitude reflect “God is love?”

Whoever I see or share some words of my faith, Will be impacted by who I really am. If the others are saints and I talk about grace, My life must be lived without blame.

If when I’m alone or with those still in sin, I still must my integrity maintain. If I say and do wrong, I will never win, But will lose any influence I gained.

I know God sees me in every aspect of life, There’s not a thing that is hid from His eyes. If I live so I’m conscious that all’s in God’s sight, I won’t be ashamed when I rise to the skies.

“Father God, here in this room away from home and from the sight of people, I am conscious that no one really knows what I am doing. At the moment it is just You and I that know what I am thinking and doing. But for me, that is enough to make me want to honor You in this quiet place. I am sure that You see what I am writing and know what I am thinking. So, may this knowledge serve to keep me pure in thought and word and deed. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
