Job 34:21-23
21 For his eyes [`ayin] are upon the ways [derek] of man ['iysh], and he seeth [ra'ah] all his goings [tsa`ad].
22 There is no darkness [choshek], nor shadow of death [tsalmaveth], where the workers [pa`al] of iniquity ['aven] may hide [cathar] themselves.
23 For he will not lay [suwm] upon man ['iysh] more than right; that he should enter [halak] into judgment [mishpat] with God ['el]. KJV-Interlinear
21 'For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, And He sees all his steps. 22 'There is no darkness or deep shadow Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. 23 'For He does not need to consider a man further, That he should go before God in judgment. NASB
God knows all of your thoughts, motivations, desires, actions, and so forth. There is nothing which can be hidden or concealed from God.
In eternity past, God issued the Divine Decrees. After careful thought, evaluation and consideration, God considered all possible scenarios for human history. He considered every possibility for your life by placement in every possible era of history, complete with every possible set of circumstances and, well, here you are.
This is your best situation for living your life, which will produce the best possible outcome for you, both now and in eternity. It is you who has to get with a consistent spiritual program so as to realize that best outcome which God has prepared for you.
Most folks unfortunately, try to do better than God. They come up with their own ideas. They, those who have lived but a few years or decades, confined to this world, and probably to a small geographical region at that, and yet they imagine that they know more than God.
And there are those who believe that they can hide their thoughts, their actions, their most secret desires from the public as well as from God. Some hide in the darkness of the shadows, many hide in the darkness of their indifference, many hide in the darkness of their intellect. But God is never fooled, nor misled.
Before you were born, God knew your entire life. God knows all of the possible scenarios you might follow, and He knows the actual path you will pursue in life. He has known since eternity past. In fact, God has gone so far as to make provision for your life, every aspect of your life, every moment of your life, until the very moment of your death.
God does not need to see your actions in order to know you. God does not need to read your thoughts in order to know your thoughts. God has known you for a very long time. God has known your entire life for a very long time.
It is you who has to discover yourself, not God. It is you who has to conform to Gods standards, not God to you.
Many newborn babe's die without even knowing a life. But God has seen their life as though they had lived for centuries. God has access to many more facts than we have. God knows what He is doing.
God has your best interest in mind, the real question is, do you even know what your own best interest is?
