Job 33:27-28 He looks on men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;… 1. God's eye is fixed upon every individual of the family of man. The very opposite sentiment, the negation of this truth, was maintained by some of the most eminent heathen philosophers. Their notions of the Deity were such as led them to conceive it impossible that He should be in any way concerned with the things of this our world. 2. What God specially looks for is a full confession of sin. (1) An acknowledgment of sin's essential guilt, as a perversion of that which is right. (2) Confession of the actual fact of sin. (3) Acknowledgment of its disappointing and deceptive folly. 3. Such penitent confession shall turn to our unspeakable advantage. Learn then to view the confession of sin as a duty of the first importance. The language of confession in our text every living being has reason to make his own. (Robert Eden, M. A.)
