Hugh Binning, Works, p. 57:
How much atheism is rooted in the heart of the most holy! We do not always meditate, with David, Ps. 139, on that all-searching and all-knowing Spirit, who knows our down-sitting and uprising, and understands our thoughts afar off, and who is acquainted with all our ways. O how would we ponder our path, and examine our words, and consider our thoughts before-hand, if we set ourselves in the view of such a Spirit, that is within us and without us, before us and behind us!
