S) "11 For He knows false men,
And He sees iniquity without investigating."
Job 11:11 (NASB)
O) There is a lot of context, with which this verse appears. However, in a rare case, this verse excellently describes God with a profound truth in a simple statement, that can be extracted from the chapter while maintaining its complete truth. The LORD does not learn. He isn't surprised. He does not have opinions. He is not subject to our thought processes. God does not see things the way we see things. Truth is not relative. God cannot be deceived, mocked, delayed, tricked, mislead, convinced, or educated.
A) First of all, I cannot excuse my sin. There are no extenuating circumstances that I can tell my Lord. Second, I need to remember that God knew what He was getting, when He chose to redeem me. This has a huge implication! This is the foundation for the truth of Romans 5:8! The truth of His love that is proven in His foreknowledge of my sin, and His willingness to pay for it with His own Son, is the final point: thanksgiving, and confidence in His love.
P) Father, Your wisdom, insight, and understanding have no limits. Your mercy displayed on the cross, in full view of my every sin, is nothing short of amazing. When the enemy speaks lies about Your view of me, remind me of this verse. When my flesh wants to hide my sin, remind me of this verse. When I remember this verse, may it bring forth unceasing thanksgiving and worship. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
