How can Psalm 94:9 encourage trust in God's justice and oversight today? Text “Does He who fashioned the ear not hear? Does He who formed the eye not see?” (Psalm 94:9) Key Observations from the Verse •Creation logic: The God who engineered hearing and sight cannot Himself be deaf or blind. •Literal craftsmanship: God “fashioned” and “formed” human senses, proving His intimate involvement with every detail of life. •Divine attributes implied: Omniscience, omnipresence, perfect justice. Reasons This Verse Fuels Trust in God’s Justice and Oversight •God hears every cry and complaint – Exodus 3:7: “I have surely seen the affliction… and have heard their cry.” – 1 Peter 3:12: “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayer.” •God sees every injustice – Proverbs 15:3: “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, observing the evil and the good.” – Job 34:21: “His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.” •He will act at the right time – Romans 12:19: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” – Revelation 6:10: Martyrs appeal to the God “holy and true” who will “judge and avenge.” •His justice is flawless and impartial – Deuteronomy 32:4: “A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.” – Psalm 98:9: “He will judge the earth with righteousness and the peoples with equity.” Practical Implications Today •When wronged, release the burden of retaliation – Trust the God who hears your side of the story even when no one else seems to listen. •When tempted to despair over societal evil – Remember: nothing escapes His view; He keeps perfect records (Hebrews 4:13). •When doubting that your quiet obedience matters – The same eyes that saw Hagar in the wilderness (Genesis 16:13) see you in your workplace, kitchen, or classroom. •When praying for loved ones – You speak to a Father who designed the ear; He cannot miss a single whispered plea. Living in Light of God’s Watchful Justice 1.Speak honestly with the Lord; He already hears. 2.Refuse vengeance; leave room for His righteous response. 3.Walk in integrity, confident that unseen faithfulness is fully visible to Him. 4.Cultivate hope: history is moving toward the Judge who sees and sets all things right (Acts 17:31). |
