“The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;
From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.
The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.” (Psalm 33:13-17 NASB1995; also see Psalm 139:1-24)
God and God alone knows the hearts of all human beings, because we were created by him – by God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. He formed our inward parts, and he wove us in the womb’s of our mothers. And all the days that were ordained for us are written down in his book, even though many of them have not yet taken place. In other words, God knows us inside and out. Before we were even born he knew who we were going to be and what we would do and who would follow him with their lives.
No one else knows us like God knows us, not even ourselves, I believe. Even before there is a word on our tongues, the Lord knows it all. He knows when we sit down, and when we rise up, and he understands our thoughts from afar, even before we are even aware of our own thoughts. He is intimately acquainted with all of our ways. Nothing is hidden from God. So, even if we wanted to hide from God, we cannot, for he sees everything we do. And if we are willing, he will lead us in the way we ought to go, which is God’s way.
And God’s way is the way of holiness and righteousness, in death to sin, and in walks of obedience to our Lord and to his commands. As those who believe in Jesus Christ, we are to be those who are in step with him, who walk in his ways in doing what all he has for us to do, as his followers, and in his power. Our lives are to be surrendered to our Lord to do his will and to obey his calling upon our lives, to go wherever he sends us, and to say whatever he gives us to say for the glory of God and the sake of the gospel.
And we are to be looking to the Lord to solve our problems and to give us the wisdom to make the right decisions and to speak the words he wants us to speak to the people. We are not to put our dependency in other humans, or in other sources, such as in artificial intelligence, to make our decisions for us and to give us the words to say. Sadly, many people today, including Christians, and perhaps some pastors, too, are letting AI do their thinking for them and to replace the Holy Spirit in giving them the words to say.
Our dependency is also not to be in doctors and psychologists and teachers and preachers and heads of government and drugs (medications) to solve our problems. Now the Lord may use doctors and teachers and preachers, etc., to help us, and to give us some guidance, but we should not place our full dependency in them, making them our gods and not God. We should seek the counsel of God first and foremost, and even after we get outside counsel, we should still seek the counsel of God if that is what he wants.
Humans will fail us. They will not get everything right. And some may willfully do us harm with the full intent to destroy us and/or to lead us astray, or to get us to make them our gods in place of God. We need to not be people who immediately run to other sources without first consulting with our Lord, in prayer, seeking his counsel with regard to what steps he has for us to take, and what words he would have us to write or to speak. For letting AI do our speaking for us is not of God, but is of the flesh, so not biblical.
So we need to put our trust fully in the Lord, and we need to let him direct our paths, and we must not run to everyone else or to anything else first before we even consult God. So many liars are trying to convince us that we must depend on them or on drugs or on something other than God to make it through the difficulties of this life. But that is a lie from Satan. God first always, and then let him lead us in the way he would have us to go, even if it does not agree with the thinking and reasoning of other humans.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.” (Proverbs 3:5-7 NASB1995)

In repentance is your salvation.
In quietness and trust is your strength.
The Lord longs to be gracious to you.
Blessed are all who wait for Him.
Pharaoh’s protection will be your shame.
Egypt’s shade will bring you to disgrace.
Ev’ryone will be put to their shame,
Because they trusted in man.
Woe to those who carry out their plans
Without consulting God their Savior.
God’s calling out for you to listen
And obey all He commands.
In repentance is your salvation.
In quietness and trust is your strength.
The Lord longs to be gracious to you.
Blessed are all who wait for Him.
