God is not seen by the natural eye: but we have to seek to see Him, and to set Him before us daily, hourly, momentarily, by faith; and to bring Him and keep Him nigh to us by faith. The presence of God, the habitual presence of God, because we believe that He sees us and hears us continually, has to regulate our life. We have to live in this world as those would who exercise faith in the truth that their heavenly Father is continually their Provider, their Protector, their Helper, their Friend; that He is ever nigh to them, that He is a wall of fire round about them continually. If the child of God thus treated God, exercised faith in Him, looked upon Him practically as the living God ever near to him, how peacefully and happily would he walk through the world! The Lord Jesus, the loving, sympathising Friend, is not seen by the natural eye; but faith says, I rest upon, that word, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” [age]. (Matt. 28:20) And thus the heart is made happy by the belief in a present living, loving, almighty Saviour.
