Psalm 53:2:

God looks down from heaven on the entire human race; He looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.

• What is the largest group of people you have ever seen?
• Close your eyes and imagine seeing everyone on Earth. What does this tell you about God compared to us?
• God sees both the good and the evil in the world. How do you think God can continue to show patience with people?
• Knowing that God sees everything, does that encourage you or discourage you personally—why?
• How do you think God knows that someone is truly seeking Him?
• Do you think someone can be truly wise and not seek God? Please explain.    

Psalm 33:14–22:

¹⁴ From His throne He observes all who live on the earth. ¹⁵ He made their hearts, so He understands everything they do. ¹⁶ The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior. ¹⁷ Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—for all its strength, it cannot save you. ¹⁸ But the Lord watches over those who fear Him, those who rely on His unfailing love.¹⁹ He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine. ²⁰ We put our hope in the Lord . He is our help and our shield. ²¹ In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name. ²² Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord , for our hope is in You alone.

• In verses 16–17, why is it not wise to trust in ourselves or anything on Earth?
• In verse 18, what do you think it means to fear God? To respect and be in awe of His power and might—His holiness, knowing He is above all things, and He holds our life in His hands.
• In verses 18 and 22, what kind of love does God have for us? Unfailing love.
• In verses 18, 19, 20, name some things God promises to do when we trust in Him. Watch over, love us, rescue us, protect, give us life, provide, help, shield.
• In verse 22, how is this like the SuperTruth? Hope and trust alone is in God—all of our heart—complete trust in no one but Him.

Job 1:8:

Then theLord asked Satan, “Have you noticed My servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil."

• How is this verse like the first part of the SuperVerse? God sees all—watches over and knows how Job trusts and serves Him alone.
• How can this verse encourage us?
• God sees everyone on Earth, yet He knew Job’s name. How does it make you feel to know that God sees everyone on Earth - and knows your name?
• Do you think that by serving God, we won’t have any problems? Why?
• Job served God, yet his faith was tested. God showed Himself strong on Job’s behalf after the testing was done. Do you think you would continue to trust God even if a lot of things go wrong in your life? Why or why not?
• Sometimes we may get discouraged and think that no one notices all of our hard work, or that our good choices don’t really matter. How can this verse encourage you?
