It's All In A Word

Isn't it amazing when one sits down to contemplate all that God knows? The most amazing thing, however, is we will never really comprehend the vastness of God's knowledge. In Our Perfect God Shenton says, "

"God's knowledge is his intellectual apprehension of truth and can be described as one eternal, all-comprehensive, indivisible act of intuition. It is that perfection in God whereby he, in an entirely unique manner, knows himself and all things possible and actual in one eternal and most simple act."

In other words, God knows what has happened, what will happen, when and where it will happen. And get this, He knew before the world took on any form. "Known to God from eternity are all His works." Acts 15:18

In our humanity, we must work to obtain knowledge, however, God does not obtain His. He doesn't depend on anyone or anything to gain knowledge. Shenton says, "He depends solely and absolutely on his own infinite knowledge, which he possesses within his own mind and will." This should cause all to fall to their knees in awe. Oh, how little we know and understand when it comes to the mind of our great and glorious God. I am finding out how little I know and understand.

I praise the Lord for His omniscience. For no matter what I have gone through, are going through, or will go through HE knows it altogether.

Foreknowledge - In one simple and eternal act of cognition God knows all things.

AMEN
