I Don’t Feel God

Omniscience. Hard to say and even harder to spell, but it basically means “all knowing†and it’s often referred to as an attribute of God. It seems like a pretty simple concept: “God knows everything.†But why is that important?

First, God’s knowledge is infinite. This may seem obvious, but the more you think about it, the more amazing it is. Psalm 147:4-5 says, “He counts the number of the stars; he gives names to all of them…his understanding is infinite.â€

Second, God knows our hearts. Proverbs 15:3 says, “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, observing the wicked and the good.†This is the tough part of God’s all-knowingness: there’s no escaping it. We may be able to hide ourselves from others, but nothing is hidden from God. Acts 1:24 tells us that God knows the hearts of all people; and Psalm 139:4 says, “Before a word is on my tongue, you know all about it, Lord.â€

One day we will each stand before God. We have all sinned, and both we and God know it. But God loves us in spite of our shortcomings and wrongdoing, and He sent His Son, Jesus, to bear the penalty for our sins. Romans 10:9 says, “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.â€

Third, God knows our future and our needs. We may not know what will happen, but we have a God who does. Philippians 4:19 says, “My God will supply all your needs…†As Christians, we can trust God and know that our future is secure in Him (Ephesians 1:13-14).

Fourth, God knows you. Perhaps the most amazing thing about God’s omniscience is that amid the vast multitude of stars and the billions of people, not only does God know about you, but God knows you completely, individually, and He loves you very much. • Jeami Stander

• Have you ever worried about the future? It’s easy to get caught up in the stress of life, but no matter what happens, God will take care of us; He knows our every need.

• Do you ever feel like no one even notices you? The Bible reveals that God knows all about you…even how many hairs are on your head (Matthew 10:30; Luke 12:7)! Sometimes we may feel insignificant, but God tells us we are very precious to Him. You can ask Him, “Is it true?â€

Lord, you have searched me and known me. Psalm 139:1 (CSB)
