GOD HAS A LOT OF ATTRIBUTES AND MANY NAMES. THERE ARE THREE ATTRIBUTES YOU OFTEN HEAR GROUPED TOGETHER…OMNIPOTENT (HAVING ALL POWER), OMNIPRESENT (PRESENT IN ALL PLACES AT ALL TIMES), OMNISCIENT (DIVINE KNOWLEDGE, ALL KNOWING, UNLIMITED KNOWLEDGE, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, PERCEIVES ALL THINGS).
ALL THREE OF THESE ATTRIBUTES MEAN A LOT TO ME BUT THE ONE THAT REALLY GRABS MY HEART IS THAT HE IS THE OMNISCIENT ONE. THE FACT THAT GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING BLESSES ME IN SUCH A WAY. IT’S ONE GREAT THING FOR HIM TO HAVE ALL POWER. IT’S ONE GREAT THING FOR HIM TO BE EVERYWHERE AT ALL TIMES, BUT IT IS SOMETHING SO AMAZING THAT HE KNOWS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.
I AM SURE YOU CAN SAY THE SAME THAT COUNTLESS TIMES IN YOUR LIFE YOU HAVE BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS, SOMETHING YOU MAY HAVE SAID, OR THE WAY YOU LOOKED WHEN SOMETHING WAS SAID OR DONE OF OTHERS. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES FROM A PERSON WHO SHOULD “KNOW YOU”. HOW FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND CORRECT YOURSELF AND REASSURE TO THE PERSON THAT SHOULD KNOW YOU THAT YOU DID NOT MEAN FOR IT TO COME ACROSS THAT WAY. OR THAT IS NOT WHAT YOUR WERE SAYING OR THINKING AT ALL. IT’S LIKE HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THAT OUT OF WHAT I JUST SAID? THOSE TWO DON’T EVEN GO TOGETHER. HELP ME FATHER. THIS GOES FOR MISUNDERSTANDINGS WE TAKE AS WELL. WE TOO MISUNDERSTAND OTHERS. SAY IT WITH ME….HELP ME MASTER.
BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IS THE WORST FEELING WOULDN’T YOU SAY? HOWEVER, IT IS A PART OF LIFE AS WE LIVE IN A FALLEN WORLD AND AS HUMANS WE HAVE LIMITATIONS WITH OUR WONDERFUL SELVES. AND LET’S BE HONEST AND SAY THERE ARE FILTERS IN OUR HEART THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN ALL THE WAY CLEANSED. AND FOR SOME OTHER OF US…LET’S BE SUPER HONEST AND SAY IF CLEANSED AT ALL.
IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO GET IN HIS PRESENCE AND GET IN HIS WORD AND CLEANSE OUR HEARTS FROM ALL FILTHINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. AND THIS IS NOT A ONE AND DONE…..THIS IS DAILY.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE MIGHTY GOD OUR CREATOR WHO HAS ALL POWER TO MAKE A DECISION BUT DOESN’T HAVE ALL OF THE FACTS? HOW DANGEROUS IS THAT? HAVING THE POWER TO MAKE A DECISION WITHOUT KNOWING ALL THE FACTS CAN CAUSE A CATASTROPHE. WE AS HUMANS KNOW THIS ALL TOO WELL. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE MIGHTY GOD OUR CREATOR WHO CAN BE EVERYWHERE AT ALL TIMES, BUT LIMITED IN WHAT HE KNOWS? HOW DANGEROUS IS THAT? WE AS HUMANS KNOW ALL TOO WELL ABOUT SEASONS YOU CAN BE ALMOST INSEPARABLE AND ALMOST GO EVERYWHERE WITH A PERSON AND STILL NOT KNOW EVERYTHING. WHO IS THIS I MARRIED AND WHO IS THIS I RAISED? MARRIED PEOPLE AND PARENTS CAN I GET AN AMEN! WHO IS THIS DEAR FRIEND FOR OVER 30YEARS? FRIENDS CAN I GET AN AMEN! WHO IN THE WORLD IS THIS PERSON THAT RAISED ME? GROWN CHILDREN CAN I GET AN AMEN! OKAY…I NEED TO GET OFF OF THIS ONE FOR REAL LOL.
THE WHOLE POINT I AM TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT I AM SO GLAD GOD IS NOT LIKE MAN. HE IS A SAFE PLACE AND CAN BE TRUSTED WITH ALL POWER, TO BE EVERYWHERE ALL OF THE TIME, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHILE HE HAS ALL THE POWER AND IS EVERYWHERE ALL OF THE TIME, HE KNOWS EVERYTHING! YOU DON’T HAVE TO EVER WORRY ABOUT BEING MISUNDERSTOOD WHEN IT COMES TO OUR LORD SAVIOR. AS A MATTER OF FACT HE SET IT UP WITH HIS SON JESUS TO BE OUR INTERPRETER, OUR INTERCESSOR FOR US WHEN WE ARE TALKING TO HIM.
I KNOW IT HURTS AND CAN BE FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU ARE MISUNDERSTOOD. IT CAN ALSO BE FRUSTRATING WHEN PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW YOU AND THEY DO NOT. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO STOP WORRYING YOUR MIND ABOUT THE MISUNDERSTANDING OF OTHERS. REST IN THE OMNISCIENT ONE….THE ONE WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING. IN SOME INSTANCES YOU HAVE TO BE BOLD ENOUGH TO LET IT GO AND SAY GOD YOU KNOW. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, HE IS THE ONE YOU WOULD REALLY WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING BECAUSE HE HAS THE FINAL SAY IN OUR LIVES. CAST YOUR CARE. GIVE OVER TO HIM WHAT HE KNOWS ALREADY ANYWAY. HE WILL WORK IT OUT EVERY TIME. THE MASTER KNOW IT ALL.
PRAYER: GOD…MY MASTER…I BLESS YOU AND I LOVE YOU TODAY. I GIVE YOU THE GLORY HONOR AND PRAISE. THANK YOU FOR KNOWING ME AND STILL LOVING ME THE WAY YOU DO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT POWER. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING BY MY SIDE. I BELIEVE YOUR WORD THAT SAYS YOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME NEITHER WILL YOU FORSAKE ME. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE LIKE YOU. NO ONE WILL EVER COMPARE TO YOU. NO ONE WILL EVER OUT THINK YOU. NO ONE WILL KNOW MORE THAN YOU AND I AM SO GRATEFUL YOU KNOW ME. I SUBMIT TO YOUR WILL NOW. I TRUST YOU. IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
SCRIPTURES:
1 Corinthians 2:10-11 Amplified Bible (AMP)
10 For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. 11 For what person knows the thoughts and motives of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So also no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
