All knowing

We all know people who claim to "know it all" or act like they know it all. These people tend to drive others nuts. These people aren't particularly well liked, yet they seem to think they are. I've found that people who think they know a lot want to feel important. I've met parents who defend their kids "know it all" attitude and say that other kids are just jealous of them. Unfortunately, sometimes this attitude carries into adulthood. This is not a good trait to have as a human. It means we aren't humble. Being humble is the opposite of pride. When we have pride.....God is not shining in our life like He should be.

Well.....there is someone who does know it all. Nothing has to be taught to Him. He has never had to learn or will have to ever learn anything. He is all knowing of  everything......past, present, and future. An all knowing God is also called omniscient.

In reading "Knowledge of the Holy" by A.W.Tozer, he tells of all the things God has orchestrated and knows 100% without teaching or learning on His part. He has created all these things and needs no instruction. He is all knowing.
These include......
- matter
- minds
- creatures
- mysteries
- causes
- thoughts
- desires
- dominions
- personalities
- visible
- invisible
- time
- life
- death
- heaven
- hell

Our God knows all things equally well and perfectly. He is never surprised or amazed by anything that happens or will happen to any of us. He knows why we sin, so he doesn't accept our lame excuses for why we do what we do. We think we can fool Him, but we cannot. We can be totally honest with him. Even when we tell the truth, He still listens and is slow to anger against us. We are shown grace. We are one of His creations and a great mystery of Himself is that no creature will ever know everything about Him.

The amazing thing about our God is that He knew all the things we would do to go against Him, yet called us, to Himself, before we ever knew about Him. He did this before He created anything. This makes my brain hurt yet, this makes me love Him all the more. After all I've done and will do to go against my God, yet He will keep me close and keep me as His own? Wow.
One more point from the author......."God knows us and cares for us like no one else can". Keep that
in your mind when hard times come. There is purpose in it all......for our God's glory. 😄
