Definition: Having infinite knowledge; knowing all things. Man makes assumptions & judgments based on what’s seen and appears outward but only God knows our motives and what’s hidden in our hearts. We can invite the Omniscient One who knows our hearts to do His searching work to lead us in His everlasting way

Scripture(s): Genesis 6:5, 16:13-15; 1 Samuel 16:7b; Psalm 139:1; Proverbs 21:2; Luke 16:15, Hebrews 4:12-13

 

Genesis 16:13-15 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are God Who Sees”; for she said, “Have I not even here [in the wilderness] remained alive after seeing Him [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?” Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi (Well of the Living One Who Sees Me); it is between Kadesh and Bered.

 

1 Samuel 16:7b For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

 

Psalm 139:1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts.

 

Luke 16:15 And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

 

Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
