耶和华从天上观看，他看见一切的世人。（诗33：13）
神从宝座上俯视世界，他从天上垂听人的需要，留心人的困苦，恐怕再也没有一句话能这样生动地表达出神的恩光来了。我们爱他，因爲他在所多玛、蛾摩拉罪恶满盈之时，将要毁灭那两座城之前，先亲自前往。我们不能不把我们心中的爱情都倾倒给我们的主，因他从荣耀的高天倾听我们，幷侧耳听罪人临终时从微弱的心中发出的求救声。当我们知道他连我们的头发都能数算过来，他定了我们的道路时，我们怎能不爱他呢？我们要把这话存记在心，当我们想到他多麽留心我们的时候，我们要知道他不单留心人今世的事，也关怀他们灵性的事。虽然有限的受造者与无限的创造者之间有很大的距离，但是两者也能接近。不要以爲他幷没有看到你的眼所流的泪，因爲“父亲怎样怜恤他的儿女，耶和华也怎样怜恤敬畏他的人。”你的叹息能感动耶和华的心，你的低诉能使他侧耳，你的祷告能止住他的手，你的信心能挪动他的膀臂。你不要以爲神在高天上毫不管你的事。要知道不管你多麽穷苦缺乏，神仍顾念你。神的眼遍察全地，他必向那心中完全的人显出他的能力。他无时不俯身看你。
“任遭何事不要惊怕，天父必看顾你；必将你藏他恩翅下，天父必看顾你。
天父必看顾你，时时看顾，处处看顾，他必要看顾你，天父必看顾你。”

“The
Lord looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men.” — Psalm
33:13
Perhaps no figure of speech represents God
in a more gracious light than when He is spoken of as stooping from His throne,
and coming down from heaven to attend to the wants and to behold the woes of
mankind. We love Him, who, when Sodom and Gomorrah were full of iniquity, would
not destroy those cities until He had made a personal visitation of them. We
cannot help pouring out our heart in affection for our Lord who inclines His
ear from the highest glory, and puts it to the lip of the dying sinner, whose failing
heart longs after reconciliation. How can we but love Him when we know that He
numbers the very hairs of our heads, marks our path, and orders our ways?
Specially is this great truth brought near to our heart, when we recollect how
attentive He is, not merely to the temporal interests of His creatures, but to
their spiritual concerns. Though leagues of distance lie between the finite
creature and the infinite Creator, yet there are links uniting both. When a
tear is wept by thee, think not that God doth not behold; for, “Like as a
father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him.” Thy
sigh is able to move the heart of Jehovah; thy whisper can incline His ear unto
thee; thy prayer can stay His hand; thy faith can move His arm. Think not that
God sits on high taking no account of thee. Remember that however poor and
needy thou art, yet the Lord thinketh upon thee. For the eyes of the Lord run
to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of
them whose heart is perfect towards Him.
Oh! then repeat the truth that never
tires; No God is like the God my soul desires; He at whose voice heaven
trembles, even He, Great as He is, knows how to stoop to me.
