There is no stepping out of the eye or sight of God.
He marks all our paths, not only our open paths, but our secret paths; not only what paths our feet walk in, but paths our hearts walk in. He marketh what our thoughts are, what our scope is, what our aims and ends are. He marketh not only our day-paths, but our night-paths; He watcheth all our paths. Take this Caution from it; As the Lord marks all our paths, so it will be our wisdom to mark our own paths.
He markes all our paths, not only our open paths, but our secret paths; not only what paths our feet walke in, but paths our hearts walke in. He marketh what our thoughts are, what our scope is, what our aymes and ends are. He marketh not only our day-paths, but our night-paths; He watcheth all our paths. Take this Caution from it; As the Lord marks all our paths, so it will be our wisdome to mark our owne paths.
If the Lords eye be so strict over all our ways, shall we be careless of our ways? If he look upon our walkings, shall not we look to our walkings? There are many arguments (from love, from returns of thankfulness for received benefits) which should provoke the people of God to heed and mark their own ways; but surely this ought to be a very cogent argument, because God marks them, He marketh all our paths. Therefore as the Apostle gives counsel and admonition (Eph: 5.15.) See that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise. What our wisdom is, yea whether we have any wisdom, whether we are wise or fools will be seen by our walkings. Some can talk and discourse very wisely, who yet walk very foolishly, and whose whole course is folly.
