Day 25: He Sees! He Hears! He Knows!

Day 25: He Sees! He Hears! He Knows!

"And YHWH said: ‘I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt. And their cry before their taskmasters have I sh’ma-ed [listened for, heard, and been moved to actively respond] ki yadati [for I know intimately] their makov [sorrows, pain, grief].’"
[Exodus 3:7]



The Holy One Sees You.

He always has.
He always will.

His eye is upon you at all times.

His ear is tuned in to hear your every heartbeat, breath, sigh, laugh, and tear. He knows your pain before you feel it, the sound of your laughter before joy arrives, and your tears before sorrow takes hold.

He knows your thoughts before you think them and your words before they form in your mind—let alone leave your lips.

He sees your biggest mistakes, your hidden struggles, and your deepest regrets.

And yet…
He never turns away.
He never tunes you out.


He Knows More Than You Think

He has watched you:
At your best—when you have walked in faith, hope, and love.
At your worst—when you have wandered off course into self-centeredness, brokenness, and compromise.
When you have felt His presence so strongly you could hardly breathe.
✅ **When you have questioned whether He was even there at all.

And still… He listens.**

He does not share our illusions about ourselves. He knows the full truth.

And yet… He still loves, redeems, and calls you forward.


He’s Waiting for You to Cry Out

Israel groaned under the weight of their oppression, but God did not move until their cry rose to Him.

And when He responded…

  • He did not shame them for how they ended up in Egypt.
  • He did not bring up their sins or failings.
  • He did not remind Moshe of his past murder.

Instead, He simply said:
“I have seen. I have heard. I know. And I am coming.”

If only we would learn to respond as He does.


Prayer:

Help me, Holy One, to see people as You see them—not defined by their sin, but by their potential. Teach me to respond with love, not judgment. And give me the patience to trust that You are always listening, always watching, always knowing.


25th Awestruck Heart Challenge:

🔥 Acknowledge and find peace in the fact that you have no secrets from God. He knows exactly where you stand spiritually. No pretense, no performance—only truth.

🔥 Shift your perspective on sin—both yours and others'. It is not an obstacle to God's love, but a temporary and easily-remedied condition that separates us from joy, fulfillment, and peace.

🔥 Stop being repulsed or reactive to others’ sin. Instead of condemning, point them to the embrace of the King, where true transformation happens.


25th Awestruck Heart Exercises:

📖 A. Read:

  • Song of Songs 1:6-10
  • Psalm 10:12-18, Psalm 53:2-3, Psalm 94:8-15
  • Isaiah 29:13-24

B. Reflect:

  • Think back to your most recent encounters with God.
  • Did He begin by confronting you about your sin?
  • Or did He start by reminding you of His love?

C. Consider:

  • Is it easier for a person to deal with sin before encountering God’s love or after?
  • Why do you think this is so?

📖 D. Meditate on:

  • Habakkuk 1:13-14
  • Habakkuk 3:1-2

E. Tell the King:

COMPASSIONATE, PATIENT KING!

YOU HAVE HUMBLED ME AGAIN WITH YOUR UNSTOPPABLE LOVE.

I NEED YOU TO TEACH ME, TRAIN ME, AND DISCIPLE ME IN HOW TO BE A VESSEL OF HEALING, CLEANSING, AND REDEEMING LOVE—

NOT A SELF-RIGHTEOUS PHARISEE WHO SEES WHAT’S WRONG WITH OTHERS AND SAYS, “AT LEAST I AM BETTER THAN THIS PUBLICAN!”

I WANT TO LOVE AS YOU LOVE. SEE AS YOU SEE. HEAR AS YOU HEAR.


Final Thoughts:

The Holy One sees you.
The Holy One hears you.
The Holy One knows you.

He is not waiting for you to be perfect.
He is waiting for you to cry out.

And when you do, He will move heaven and earth to bring you home.
