The Look of God
2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth…


I. God looks upon all things DISTINCTLY. He looks upon every parcel and opens the whole pack of human affairs.

II. He beholds every thing and person PERFECTLY, fully, quite through.

III. IN SEEING HE GOVERNS EVERYTHING EFFECTUALLY, and works it to His own ends.

IV. HE SEETH ALL THINGS TOGETHER.

(J. Caryl.)
