Scripture Reading: 1 Chronicles 28:4-9, Job 28:20-28, Psalm 139:1-6, Psalm 139:16-18, Isaiah 46:9-11, Matthew 10:26-30, 1 John 3:18-20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you imagine what it\u2019s like to be all-knowing? Having the reason for everything that is confusing, the answer every time your small child asks the age old question, \u201cWhy?\u201d At first, we may relish in prideful certainty, and we might even find being all-knowing comforting. But knowing can be a burden, and this kind of knowledge in anyone else\u2019s hands would be a dangerous weapon. Without the perfection our God has, such power could easily overwhelm us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s omniscience is a reminder of His trustworthiness. On the day of Solomon\u2019s coronation, David told his son, \u201cThe LORD searches every heart and understands the intention of every thought\u201d (1Chronicles 28:9). Because God is all-knowing, there is nothing hidden from God\u2019s sight\u2014nothing in waking life or even in our imaginations. There is no event in the past, present, or future that takes Him by surprise. The entire universe is an open book. Our self-condemnation often tells us that we are unlovable, that we are sinners with no hope for redemption, and so becoming like Jesus is not worth the effort. Yet this God, who sees into each heart, still extends His mercy and grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As 1 John 3:20 says, \u201cGod is greater than our hearts, and he knows all things.\u201d True, there is no hiding from God. But there also isn\u2019t anyone who could possibly know us better. There is no one who has forgiven us like He has, once and for all. To be known by God, then, is to be cared for, valued, and loved. God\u2019s omniscience is an invitation to true intimacy with our Maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
