Godly Violation-Part 2

2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

Have you ever felt like someone was watching you? Kind of gives you a weird feeling all over. You have seen those shows and movies where there is someone watching every move a person makes. This is unlike the "Big Brother" thing where the government or your boss watches to make sure you are not doing anything wrong, but someone watching you for their own pleasure or their own protection. Privacy in today's world is becoming a thing of the past to the point no one will be trusted even when you prove yourself trustworthy. It sucks.
Now think about God who is omnipresent. HE SEES ALL! He takes one more step in this ability: HE KNOWS OUR THOUGHTS! There is nothing we can
hide from God He cannot see or know. Scary, huh!
Now for the sake of argument, let's say there is no God. Then we have to agree there is always someone watching us. Fair statement? What do they see in our actions everyday? This is how they judge who we are. Do we really think in the course of our doing wrong no one is watching? What did I say about "Big Brother" and the boss? We may get away with it for a period of time, but eventually, we get caught. But imagine if they could perceive our thoughts. Real Scary!
Now let's turn this the right way for those who believe in an omni- present God. What better person to see and know us this intimately? If we love Him because He first loved us, most of all, He created us; how much more should we love Him enough to depend on Him all we can muster that is good within us?

Lord God Creator,
You do know my every move and my every thought and I cannot thank you enough for loving me anyway. You are the only good in me through Your Holy Spirit who lives in me. I am His temple, yet I am not worthy to contain Him in this my evil heart. However, if He did not live there, how wicked would I be. I don't even want to go there! I shudder at the thought! Thank you for the creative good given me that I may use it to Your glory and pleasure, but most of all, discipline my every move and my every thought knowing You are watching. I want my attitude turned in gratitude, in Jesus' name, Amen.
