A Believer's Painful Question
Several commentators, including Albert Barnes and John Calvin, argue that the question "How does God know?" is not just from the wicked, but from God's own people. When believers see injustice and the prosperity of the ungodly, it can trigger a painful crisis of faith, making them wonder if God truly sees or cares. This is presented as a common temptation for the faithful throughout history.
