There is so much more to God's Creation than man!
The son of man is in the Son of God, glorified
in Christ at the cross. The Son of God fills all, in all.

Colossians 1:
15
He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.
16
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven
and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

It is such a vanity to think that all in heaven
pertains to man! What matters is that we can
say, like Yeshua:

John 14:30 I will no longer talk much with you,
for the ruler of this world is coming,
and he has nothing in Me.

He knows the hearts of man
John 2:
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover,
during the feast, many believed in His name when
they saw the signs which He did.
24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all,
25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man,
for He knew what was in man.

The Lord will not judge by the outward appearance.
Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge
the secrets of men by Jesus Christ....

He knows the secrets of the heart.
Psalm 44:
20
If we have forgotten the name of our God,
or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 Shall not God search this out?
for he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yea, for thy sake we are killed all day long;
we are counted as sheep for slaughter.

Have you allowed the Holy Spirit to expose
the secrets of your heart?

1 Corinthians 14:
24
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that
believes not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all,
he is judged by all:
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
