The Bible declares that God is omniscient. He knows everything: details, thoughts, future, hopes, desires, sins.
This can be a daunting concept to some people. They just cannot fathom a Person who could know all.
For me it has been a beacon of hope, a character quality of a Creator who cares enough, knows all, and remembers.
He says of the redeemed that He remembers their sin no more, so that gives comfort.
However, in times of my life when I feel wronged I remember that God knows all, and everyone is accountable to Him.
We are all accountable to Him for every thought, word and action.
Everyone, everything.
Yes, God can remember all that. He’s God.
When my mind cannot comprehend the nature of God I just chalk it up to my finite being.
Of course there are things I cannot understand. I’m only human.
I can only believe the things asserted and implied in Scripture. Put two and two together and you do end up with four. Logically.
God knows everything.
He knows that a word I said 20 years ago meant something, was interpreted some other way, twisted, remembered, held against, held account. It may have influenced a life. Perhaps the influence was negative.
What a tremendous responsibility!
It’s one that I cannot bear.
So, I’m thankful that I am accountable to God alone. He understands my intentions. He knew my heart and my desires. I can bring those words to Him, because He alone is fair and righteous.
I will sadly bear the sorrow that I caused by words said.
I don’t even remember the words, but I ‘m sure they had impact.
Every word, every thought, every deed.
It’s better to be silent!
When you are wronged remember that God will hold the perpetrator accountable for every word, thought, and action. “Vengeance is Mine,” says the LORD.
You can take comfort in that and watch God work things out.
That is the joy of a believer. God cares, God knows.
You are accountable to God.
