Thought of Omniscience
Genesis 16:13-14
And she called the name of the LORD that spoke to her, You God see me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that sees me?…


A man went to steal corn from his neighbour's field. He took his little boy with him to keep a lookout, so as to give warning in case anyone should come along. Before commencing he looked all around, first one way and then the other; and not seeing any person he was just about to fill his bag when the son cried out, "Father, there is one way you haven't looked yet!" The father supposed that someone was coming, and asked his son which way he meant. He answered, "You forgot to look up!" The father, conscience-stricken, took his boy by the hand, and hurried home without the corn which he had designed to take.
