What other scriptures emphasize God's complete knowledge of our hearts and actions? The God Who Knows Us Fully in 2 Samuel 7:20 “What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD.” David’s astonishment rests on an unshakable truth: the Lord already possesses exhaustive knowledge of every thought, motive, and action. Old Testament Echoes of God’s All-Seeing Insight • 1 Kings 8:39 – “…give to each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone have known the hearts of all men.” • 1 Chronicles 28:9 – “The LORD searches every heart and understands the intention of every thought.” • Job 34:21 – “For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.” • Psalm 33:13-15 – “The LORD looks down from heaven…He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.” • Psalm 44:20-21 – “Would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?” • Psalm 90:8 – “You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.” • Psalm 139:1-4 – “O LORD, You have searched me and known me…Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it.” • Proverbs 5:21 – “For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and the LORD watches all his paths.” • Proverbs 15:3 – “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the evil and the good.” • Jeremiah 17:10 – “I, the LORD, search the heart; I test the mind to repay a man according to his way.” New Testament Confirmation • Luke 16:15 – “God knows your hearts.” • Romans 8:27 – “He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit.” • 1 Corinthians 4:5 – “He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and disclose the motives of the hearts.” • Hebrews 4:13 – “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is exposed and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” • Revelation 2:23 – “I am He who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.” Living in Light of His Perfect Knowledge • Integrity matters—since God sees everything, authentic obedience replaces mere outward show. • Comfort flows—He knows the unspoken pains and faithfully cares for His servants. • Repentance stays fresh—hidden sin cannot stay hidden; confession restores fellowship. • Motivation deepens—serving an all-knowing Lord fuels wholehearted devotion, just as David expressed in 2 Samuel 7. |
