Isaiah 47:10 Because you felt secure in your wickedness, and said, “No one sees me.”
This chapter is referring to Babylon, whose people thought they were above all else. They were a wicked people, trusting in sorcery and astrology instead of God. They acted as if none of their sins would harm them. Lo and behold, God will put the wicked down.
Most children will try to hide their mistakes. They think if no one saw them, then they won’t get in trouble. Young believers and non believers are the same. They don’t understand that God is everywhere. If he knows every hair on our head, and knew us before we were even formed, certainly he knows when we lied or cheated or said something in gossip.
God knows our prayers before we ask (Matthew 6:8) he just wants us to humble ourselves and ask. He knows what we will do today, tomorrow, and in the future (Psalm 139:16), but he allows us to make those choices. He knows what we do in public and private. Nothing is done in darkness. There is nothing we can hide. So when one purposefully makes an evil choice or chooses to live a lie, thinking they aren’t seen, they sever their relationship with God.
Thankfully, Jesus’s death and resurrection gives us grace. We can come back to God and ask for forgiveness. Don’t continue your way in the dark. Jesus is the light.
