Part 8 (2/2)

Pray this night for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon yourselves-your husbands-your children. Matt. vii. 11.

Remember, 'except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.' Matt. xviii. 3.

XXI. THOU, G.o.d, SEEST ME.

G.o.d's penetrating eye. Rev. i 14.

I. He sees _all_. Prov. v. 21.

Bad and good. Prov. xv. 3.

II. _Where_ does He see you?

1. He sees the mother _in secret_. Matt. vi. 6.

Each secret prayer-each sigh-each tear.

No privacy from Him. Eccles. xii. 14. Ps. xix. 12. Jer. xxiii. 24.

Many would give worlds to hide from G.o.d.

2. In her _daily path_. Job, x.x.xiv. 21. Ps. cx.x.xix. 3.

III. _What_ does He see?

1. The mother's _heart_. Jer. xx. 12. 1 Sam. xvi. 7. Her motives-desires-yearnings.

You may deceive _others_. You may even deceive _yourselves_, 'but all things are naked, and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.' Heb. iv. 13. Luke, xvi. 15.

2. The mother's _sins_. Ps. xix. 12; xc. 8. Isa. lvii. 18. Amos, v.

Sins of omission and commission.

3. The mother's _sorrows_. Exod. iii. 7.

Both inward and outward trials. 2 Kings, xx. 5. Ps. cxlii. 3. Acts, vii. 34.

There are many sorrows it is not well for a wife and mother to speak of to others, but take comfort! Your Saviour knows each grief-each trouble-each tear for your own sins or the sins of others.
