God sees everything we do. There’s nothing we think or do that God doesn’t know about. Therefore it’s foolish to pretend He doesn’t know what we are doing. Sin has a way of deceiving us into believing we can get away with our sinful behavior. What a lie. It’s His omniscience that’s shows His grace. He knows sinful behavior entangles and controls us, and yet His patience extends far beyond our capacities to understand. It’s that patience that allows us to see His concern as His invisible hand moves through our adversity, leading us to repentance. For those that still refuse His grace, their willful foolishness will only lead them to permanent lostness. We can’t fool ourselves forever. There comes a day when sin will reveal itself for what it is, rebellion against God, and we will have a choice to make: repent or condemn ourselves by continuing to remain hypocritically blind.
21 For the Lord sees clearly what a man does,examining every path he takes.22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins;they are ropes that catch and hold him.23 He will die for lack of self-control;he will be lost because of his great foolishness.
Proverbs 5:21-23
