Explanatory Note
God makes His judgement on the basis of His perfect knowledge. He does not lose sight of any circumstances, and no motive or feeling is withheld from Him. He knows everything in the heavens and the earth, including people’s intentions, motives, actions and reactions. God’s knowledge is not subject to any of the influences that erase things from memory or cause forgetfulness. His record is complete and perfect.
The human mind becomes overwhelmed when it merely contemplates some of what we see in the heavens and the earth, and tries to imagine how God knows all these perfectly, down to the most minute details of people, their thoughts, intentions and actions. But all this is very little compared to God’s full knowledge and power. Hence the verse concludes with the statement: “All this is easy for God.”
