Who Sees Us?

 Isaiah 29:13 And the Lord said:
“Because this people draw near with their mouth
    and honor me with their lips,
    while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
14 therefore, behold, I will again
    do wonderful things with this people,
    with wonder upon wonder;
and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
    and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”
15 Ah, you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel,
    whose deeds are in the dark,
    and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”

The words of this chapter were written while Jerusalem was under siege.  They were surrounded by those God had sent to judge them, yet they pretended like they had done nothing wrong. They were living as if God could not see them.  Despite this, by the end of the chapter, God promises that in the future they would once again be a people among whom He would be at work.  This would happen when they would come to understand that He is God and would accept His instruction.  Until then, while they acted as if He did not see or know, they would be surrounded by problems. Are we living as if God does not see or know?
