God's All Seeing Eye

"Let us frequently remember the shortness and uncertainty of our lives, and how that, after we have taken a few turns more in the world and conversed a little longer amongst men, we must all go down into the dark and silent grave, and carry nothing along with us but anguish and regret for our sinful enjoyments; and then think what must needs seize the guilty soul, to find itself naked and alone before the severe and impartial Judge of the world, to render an exact account, not only of its more important and considerable transactions, but of every word that the tongue hath uttered, and the swiftest and most secret thought that ever passed through the mind."
- Henry Scougal The life of God in the Soul of Man


This is probably one of the more convicting things that I have read lately. It brings to remembrance that we must be on guard at all times putting forth effort from the strength that God supplies (Col 1:29) in order that God be glorified to the utmost by our every thought.
