Job 31:4
4 Doth not he see [ra'ah] my ways [derek], and count [caphar] all my steps [tsa`ad]? KJV-Interlinear
4 'Does He not see my ways, And number all my steps? NASB
God is thoroughly familiar with every aspect of your life. Your thoughts, your intentions, your desires, certainly your needs. God is thoroughly familiar with every spoken word, with every overt action of your life. God is totally familiar with every hair on your head (or lack of them), with every breath of your life, with every beat of your heart.
God is the omniscient, and possesses complete foreknowledge of all of history. God possesses and commands knowledge and understanding and wisdom concerning every aspect of this universe, of heaven, and far, far more than that.
God is the perfect and only counselor, the perfect and only evaluator, the perfect and only judge of everything.
God knows you better than you know yourself.
God dispatched the scriptures in order for you to come to at least some semblance of recognition of reality and truth, so you could have the greatest possible life ever.
The wise person, will take Gods advice and make it their own. The fool, will keep looking for something better.
The wise person will make up their mind and decide (make a covenant with themselves) to pursue their spiritual life. The fool will keep looking for a better spiritual life. One of their own making.
The wise person, figures out life and knows that God is the key to everything. The fool, is certain that they know everything there is to know about life, but they keep on looking for an even better key.
The wise person begins to monitor his inner thoughts and outer actions, in order to comply (as best he can) with Gods will for his life. The fool tries to adapt to the world around him and absorb into its inner workings.
The wise person, lives his life day to day, and prepares for eternity. The fool prepares for today and presumes there will always be a tomorrow which is at least as good if not better than today.
God, in the mean time, monitors our every step in life and at the appropriate time in heaven, will award to each according to their chosen life of today.
