4. The Lord is in his holy temple. The heavens are above our heads in
all regions of the earth, and so is the Lord ever near to us in every state and
condition. Why, then, should we fear? Since Jehovah is in his holy temple,
delighting in the sacrifice of his Son, will he not defeat every device, and
send us a sure deliverance? The Lord’sthrone is in heaven. He reigns supreme. Nothing can be done in heaven, or
earth, or hell, which he does not ordain and overrule. His eyes behold.
The eternal Watcher never slumbers. His eyelids try the children of men.
As men, when intently and narrowly inspecting some very minute object, almost
close their eyelids to exclude every other object, so will the Lord look all
men through and through. God sees each man as much and as perfectly as if there
were no other creature in the universe. My danger is not hidden from him; I may
rest assured that he will not suffer me to perish while I rely alone on him.
