God Knows All Things - Dawn1 - 04-13-2012 01:06 AM
"AS FOR, HIS WAY IS PERFECT; THE WORD OF THE LORD IS PROVEN; HE IA SHEILD TO ALL WHO TRUST IN HIM" (PSALM 18:30).
GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS; HE IS NEVER SURPRISED BY THE ATTACK OF THE ENEMY. HOW SURPRISED ARE YOU WHEN THE ENEMY ATTACKS? DO YOU GIVE IN TO FEAR OR GIVE FEAR OVER TO GOD WHO WILL MAKE A WAY OUT OF THE SNARE FOR YOU?
THE ENEMY MAY COME TO DISCOURAGE YOU. HE MAY WHISPER TO YOUR MIND THAT GOD WILL NOT HELP YOU OR THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE COMMITTED A HORRIBLE SIN THAT HAS BROUGHT GOD'S WRATH ON YOU. SATAN THINKS THAT HE CATCHES THE LORD BY SURPRISE. BUT, OH, IS HE WRONG!
FATHER GOD, THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING ME FROM THE SCORCHING FLAMES. WHEN THE PRESSURE AND THE FLAMES SEEMED AS IF THEY WOULD ENGULF ME, YOUR WORDS OF ASSURANCE WOULD COMFORT ME. I PRAY THAT YOU BE WITH MY PRAYER WARRIORS WHO ARE IN THEIR DARKESS HOURS. GOD, BE WITH US ALL WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE WILDERNESS. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY. AMEN LET US PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER! HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

God is Omniscient – “He Sees and Knows” Everything. God is honored when we “set our minds on things above” and seek to worship and appreciate Him. A key to avoiding sin and listless worldliness in our lives is to focus our thoughts on what God has revealed of Himself to us of His nature and attributes. We are very, very, very, very limited in our knowledge and understanding of God. Thank God for what He has revealed of Himself to us through the Scriptures and nature!
“Omniscient is a word that means “knowing everything.” Scripture declares that God’s eyes run everywhere (Job 24:23; Psalms 33:13-15, 139:13-16; Proverbs 15:3; Jeremiah 16:17; Hebrews 4:13). He searches all hearts and observes everyone’s ways (1 Samuel 16:7; 1 Kings 8:39; 1 Chronicles 28:9; Psalms 139:1-6, 23; Jeremiah 17:10; Luke 16:15; Romans 8:27; Revelations 2:23) — in other words, he knows everything about everything and everybody all the time. Also, he knows the future no less than the past and the present, and possible events that never happen no less than the actual events that do (1 Samuel 23:9-13; 2 Kings 13:19; Psalm 81:14-15; Isaiah 48:18). Nor does he have to “access” information about things, as a computer might retrieve a file; all his knowledge is always immediately and directly before his mind. Bible writers stand in awe of the capacity of God’s mind in this regard (Psalms 139:1-6: 147:5; Isaiah 40:13-14, 28; cf. Romans 11:33-36).”
“His knowledge is perfect. He never errs, never changes, never overlooks anything. “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do” (Hebrews 4:13).”
“But to the believer, the fact of God’s omniscience is a truth fraught with much comfort. In times of perplexity he says with Job, “But He knoweth the way that I take.” (Job 23:10). It may be profoundly mysterious to me, quite incomprehensible to my friends, but “He knoweth!” In times of weariness and weakness believers assure themselves “He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust” (Psalm 103:14). In times of doubt and suspicion they appeal to this very attribute saying, “Search me, 0 God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23,24). In time of sad failure, when our actions have belied our hearts, when our deeds have repudiated our devotion, and the searching question comes to us, “Lovest thou Me?;” we say, as Peter did, “Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee” (John 21:17).
“Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite” (Psalm 147:5). God not only knows whatsoever has happened in the past in every part of His vast domains, and He is not only thoroughly acquainted with everything that is now transpiring throughout the entire universe, but He is also perfectly cognizant with every event, from the least to the greatest, that ever will happen in the ages to come. God’s knowledge of the future is as complete as is His knowledge of the past and the present, and that, because the future depends entirely upon Himself. Were it in anywise possible for something to occur apart from either the direct agency or permission of God, then that something would be independent of Him, and He would at once cease to be Supreme.”
“The infinite knowledge of God should fill us with amazement. How far exalted above the wisest man is the Lord! None of us knows what a day may bring forth, but all futurity is open to His omniscient gaze. The infinite knowledge of God ought to fill us with holy awe. Nothing we do, say, or even think, escapes the cognizance of Him with whom we have to do: “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good” (Proverbs 15:3). What a curb this would be unto us, did we but meditate upon it more frequently! Instead of acting recklessly, we should say with Hagar, “Thou God seest me” (Genesis 16:13). The apprehension of God’s infinite knowledge should fill the Christian with adoration. The whole of my life stood open to His view from the beginning. He foresaw my every fall, my every sin, my every backsliding; yet, nevertheless, fixed His heart upon me. Oh, how the realization of this should bow me in wonder and worship before Him!”
