All-Knowing

“This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need.” (Matthew 6:8 MSG)

The omniscience of God brings up more questions than answers. If God knows what we need before we even ask, why pray? If He already knows everything that will happen, is there free will, or are all our choices predestined?  

"God will not hold us responsible to understand the mysteries of election, predestination, and the divine sovereignty. The best and safest way to deal with these truths is to raise our eyes to God and in deepest reverence say, ‘O Lord, Thou knowest.’ Those things belong to the deep and mysterious Profound of God's omniscience. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints." (A. W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God)

God is All-knowing. We are not. This means that certain things will always be incomprehensible to the human mind. When we pray, we can forego the list of petitions and nagging reminders. Instead, slip into a state of  reverential intimacy. Acknowledge God’s omniscience. He is deeper and vaster than we can fathom.

"LORD, you know what's happening to me. Please step in and help me.” (Jeremiah 15:15 NLT)
