O Father of Light! with whom is no variableness, or shadow of turning, open our eyes to behold Thee clearly! Our text thus leads us to a knowledge of God's character, from the structure of the bodies he has given us.

He that formed my eye sees.
Though my feeble vision is by no means a standard or limit for his Omniscience, yet I may conclude that every perfection of the power of sight he has given me existed previously in him.

Has he endowed me, a poor puny mortal, the permanent tenant of only two yards of earth, with an eye capable of ranging over earth's broad plains and lofty mountains, of traversing her beauteous lakes and lovely rivers, of scanning her crowded cities, and inspecting all their curious productions, and specially delighting to investigate the bodily forms of men, and their mental characters displayed on the printed page?
Has he given me the principle of curiosity, without which such an endowment were useless?
Then most undoubtedly he has Himself both the desire to observe all the works of his hands, and the power to gratify that desire.

The Former of the eye must of necessity be the great Observer.
Wheresoever an eye is found of his handiwork, and wheresoever sight is preserved by his skill, let the owner of such an instrument know that if he can see, God can, and as surely as he sees, God does.
If it is possible for us to behold many objects distinctly at once, it is not impossible for God to behold more.

If he has given us an eye to look from earth to heaven, then his eye sees from heaven to earth.
