GOD-OMNISCIENCE
Let us look
at the world of fallen spirits, at Satan and his hosts. Surely here, if
anywhere, are purposes veiled from the eye of God. Here are plans wrapped in
thick folds of darkness, away from the sight of the Almighty. But no! God sees
it all. The blackest counsels of hell shine as noonday before the understanding
of God.

Youth is the
time when all seems to be within the grasp of the careful student. I have left
that time behind. “I don’t know” is on my lips more often now. But so also is “God knows!” – not as a thoughtless expression in conversation, but as the
conviction of my heart.

God is omniscient and knows everything. He has
known everything from the beginning. Nothing is a surprise to God, nor does He
ever come into possession of new knowledge.
J.P. McBeth
Men would
strip Deity of His omniscience if they could – what a proof that “the carnal
mind is enmity against God” (Rom. 8:7)! The wicked do as naturally hate
this Divine perfection as much as they are naturally compelled to acknowledge
it. They wish there might be no Witness of their sins, no Searcher of their hearts,
no Judge of their deeds. They seek to banish such a
God from their thoughts.

“Great is our
Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite” (Ps. 147:5). God not
only knows whatsoever has happened in the past in every part of His vast
domains, and He is not only thoroughly acquainted with everything that is now
transpiring throughout the entire universe, but He is also perfectly cognizant
of every event, from the least to the greatest, that ever will happen in the
ages to come. God’s knowledge of the future is as complete as is His knowledge
of the past and the present, and that, because the future depends entirely upon
Himself. Were it in anywise possible for something to
occur apart from either the direct agency or permission of God, then that something
would be independent of Him, and He would at once cease to be Supreme.

Did it ever
occur to you that nothing occurs to God?
