Being a know-it-all is not something we usually
consider a good thing. In school if someone calls you a
know-it-all there is implication of smug assurance.
Sometimes, it is said that individuals are just too smart
for their own good. Yet we value knowledge. You
would not want to go to a doctor who was not well
versed in biology. You would not want to get on an
airplane with a pilot who was not knowledgeable of the
controls. Most people spend their lives gaining
knowledge in one field or another, and the more
knowledge that is gained the more we hope (and
sometimes expect) to be trusted in the field with which
we have expertise.
Yet, possessing knowledge of all things is something
beyond human ability. I might know myself very well,
and yet I can never know the number of hairs that are
on my head. I might gaze up into the night sky and count
the stars for hours, but I will never be able to count them
all. I may spend a lifetime getting to know you on a
close, personal level but I can never truly know your
heart.
All these pieces of knowledge are at our God’s
fingertips. We get a glimpse at the breadth of God’s
knowledge in his confrontation with Job, at the end of
his book, where God tells him to prepare to answer the
questions that were coming (Job 38:3-7).
Take a few moments each day to consider the all-
encompassing nature of God’s omniscience and behold
Him. Appreciate Him. Adore Him
