Our All-Knowing God
He counts the stars and calls them all by name. (Psalm 147:4 NLT)
There isn’t a single thing that happens on earth that escapes the knowledge of God. Proverbs 5:21 tells us, “For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes” (NLT). God is aware of everything that is happening.
Romans 11:33 says, “Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!” (NLT).
The Bible tells us that God “counts the stars” and calls each one by name (Psalm 147:4). God knows everything. In this massive universe, He knows the name of every star.
God also knows what’s going on in the animal kingdom. Jesus said, “What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it” (Matthew 10:29 NLT).
At the same time, God knows what’s going on with the people that He created in His image. He is vitally aware of what’s taking place in our lives. He’s interested in us as individuals.
David began Psalm 139 by saying, “O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away” (verses 1–2 NLT).
God even knows what we’re thinking, when we get up in the morning, what we eat for breakfast, and what route we take to work or school.
He also knows the words we speak. Someone has pointed out that the average person speaks enough words in a day to fill a good-sized book—over the course of a lifetime, a person’s words would fill a college library.
Isn’t it comforting to realize that God knows about us and cares about us? He knows the intimate details of our lives.
