He Knows My Heart
Bible in a Year:
- Job 25–27
- Acts 12
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears.
Isaiah 11:3
Today’s Scripture & Insight:Isaiah 11:1–5
After a customer at a grocery store self-checkout station had completed her transaction, I made my way to the station and proceeded to scan my goods. Unexpectedly, a visibly angry person confronted me. I’d failed to notice that she was actually next in line for checkout.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you were wrong, acknowledged it, and tried to make things right—only to be rebuffed? It doesn’t feel good to be misunderstood or misjudged, and the closer we are to those we offend or those who offend us, the more painful it is. How we wish they could see our hearts!
The prophet Isaiah’s snapshot in Isaiah 11:1–5 is that of a God-appointed ruler with wisdom for perfect judgment. “He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth” (vv. 3–4). This was fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus. Though in our sinfulness and weakness we don’t always get it right, we can take heart that the all-seeing, all-knowing God of heaven knows us fully and judges us rightly.
Reflect & Pray
When have you been misunderstood or misjudged? How does it encourage you to know that God sees and knows you fully, even when others don’t?
Father, thank You for knowing everything about me. Please forgive me when I’m harsh in my judgments of others.
