Connect Job 28:24 with Psalm 139:7-10 regarding God's presence and knowledge. Opening Focus Verses • Job 28:24 – “For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.” • Psalm 139:7-10 – “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea, even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.” The God Who Sees – Job 28:24 • Nothing escapes His gaze—He surveys “to the ends of the earth.” • “Everything under the heavens” lies before Him in perfect clarity. • Related passages: Proverbs 15:3; 2 Chronicles 16:9; Hebrews 4:13. The God Who Is Present – Psalm 139:7-10 • David names heights, depths, horizons, and seas—God is already there. • His presence is personal: “Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.” • Related passages: Jeremiah 23:23-24; Matthew 28:20. One Seamless Portrait of Omniscience and Omnipresence • Job 28 highlights God’s all-seeing knowledge; Psalm 139 reveals the everywhere-present Person behind that knowledge. • Because He sees all (Job), He can be personally with us anywhere (Psalm). • Omniscience and omnipresence are two sides of the same divine perfection—He knows because He is present, and He is present because He knows. Comfort and Accountability for Our Daily Walk • Comfort: No location, situation, or emotion isolates a believer from His guiding hand (Romans 8:38-39). • Accountability: Secret thoughts and hidden actions are never hidden from Him (Luke 12:2-3). • Confidence: The same eyes that see everything under the heavens also watch over us for good (Psalm 121:3-8). |
