God Sees Everything Our N Does And Plans

 .
Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord,
How much more the hearts of men! 
Proverbs 15:11
 .
and
.

Pay heed, you senseless among the people;
And when will you understand, stupid ones?

He who planted the ear, does He not hear?
He who formed the eye, does He not see?

He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke,
Even He who teaches man knowledge?

The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
That they are a mere breath. 

Psalm 94:8-11

.

As we said here, one fear we may have in our dealings with a narcissist (one with insolent pride) is that the narcissist might be “getting away with it”.   Holding on to this fear prevents us from releasing things to God and turning our focus to our own heart, wise actions, and responsibilities – rather than on what the narcissist is doing.  Our fear that the narcissist will receive no consequences is based on two separate fears:  1.  That God does not see what’s going on, and  2.  That even if He does see, He is not going to do anything about it.

.

Even though a narcissist / one with insolent pride may work very hard to conceal their true goals, motives, and tactics for achieving what they want – and even though they may fool most people most of the time – God fully sees what they’re doing and the evil in their hearts that is driving their actions.  And He will not let them get away with it, but will judge them and provide the exact consequences needed.

.

Letting God do His job frees us to focus on gaining the wisdom we need to deal with our narcissist.

.

O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty;
Nor do I involve myself in great matters,
Or in things too difficult for me.
Surely I have composed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child rests against his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child within me. 

Psalm 131

.

In Psalm 131, “great matters” refers to God orchestrating everything as part of His grand plan for a purpose of love.  And “things too difficult for me” are things that God controls on my behalf and for my good, out of His goodness and grace.  Leaving things of God to God, and focusing on my own part, lays the foundation for a far greater peace.
