omniscient

In keeping with the previous post on our all-knowing God, I will continue to expound on that truth with scripture.

The word "omniscient" means the same as "all-knowing." The perfect, most beautiful word to describe our God who knows everything'

Isaiah, chapter 40, is a description of the greatness of God. I would suggest that you read it over and over as we think about God's attributes. I will highlight a few verses explaining that there is no one else like God.

Isaiah 40: 13-14 "Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as His counselor has informed Him? With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding? And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge, and informed Him of the way of understanding?"

Who taught God? No one. He is God.....there is no one like Him.

Isaiah 40:28 "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable."

Merriam/Webster defines "inscrutable" this way: Not readily investigated, interpreted, or understood: mysterious

Created beings do not have God's understanding of all things. The ways of God are mysterious. That, in my opinion, is what keeps us seeking Him. To always strive to understand Him better.

Isaiah 46:9 "For I am God and there is no other; I am God and there is no one like me."

Matthew 6:8 ".............for your Father (GOD) knows what you need, before you ask Him."

God is omniscient!! He knows what we need before we ask Him. How amazing is that?

My first post of the day is below.....
