Dear Reader,
Interesting question. If you are looking for a direct biblical answer then I can share several verses that will do that:
- I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” (Genesis 28:15)
- I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. (Psalm 32:8)
- …the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.(Psalm 121:8)
- The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. (Proverbs 15:3)
So, yes, it stands to reason that he is also watching us when we are having sex. How does that make you feel? Does that worry you?
