God's Intimate Knowledge

Commentators emphasize that God's 'knowing' is not passive observation but intimate, providential care. He is fully aware of the number of our days, the nature of our experiences (both bright and dark), and our daily needs. John Calvin notes this truth is a powerful antidote to anxiety, assuring believers that God is actively watching over them to maintain their well-being, which provides deep peace and security.
