How Can God Say 'Possibly'?

A Sovereign, all knowing, eternally holy and just God says “it may be that they will present their supplication before the Lord and everyone will turn from his evil way.” How is that God can say “Perhaps… possibly… it may be…?” The answer will bless you and fill you with hope. God is a God who approaches you in the immediacy of the moment not as a “could have been” or a “will be whatever” but God always sees you as a “Can be.” He knows what He can make of you and He approaches you, even in the midst of pending judgment on your sins, with the possibility for something entirely different.
