Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I get up; You understand my thought from far away. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, Lord, You know it all. You have encircled me behind and in front, And placed Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot comprehend it. – Psalm 139:1-6 NASB2020
Omnipotent means having unlimited power, while omniscient means having unlimited knowledge. Here, we see our God as awesome, with all power. Nothing is out of His control, yet He knows me intimately, and He knows me in every way. Such power and yet such intimate knowledge of our every move, our every thought, and every way. David says simply that He knows it all. He knows us all.
He has made Himself available and calls us to know Him. His great power is manifested in His creation; we can see His wisdom in countless aspects of His great work. The heavens declaring His glory, the oceans displaying His power, the mountains His strength: all wisdom and might come together in Him. All of these demonstrate His greatness.
The one thing they cannot do is make Him available to us. His word governs nature, but He has given us His Word and His name—He is available to us. He knows us and desires to be known by us. All omnipotent and all omniscient. His beckoning us to, “Come unto Me and I will in no way cast you out.”
Keep on coming, keep on seeking, keep on being hungry and thirsting for His righteousness and Him alone. To know God and make Him known to others to glorify Him.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your name and Your word. Hallelujah to the Lamb!
