Privacy is mostly an illusion, according to a recent issue of Time magazine. We may assume no one sees or hears our private moments, but the rise of technology is quickly changing that. Video cameras, satellites and drones, smart phones relaying information about their owners, license plate cameras all track car movements. While all this can be unnerving, there is something which is even more sobering, and of which we should all be aware. The God of the universe is ever present, all seeing, all knowing. The Psalmist put it this way. “O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up. You understand my thoughts afar, and are acquainted with all my ways.” If we’re trying to hide from our Maker, that knowledge is frightening. But if we have come to Christ and God is our Father, it makes for peace and security.
