One of the supreme traits of the
Judean-Christian God is that He is “Omniscient,” that is, all knowing. Again,
like God’s other traits, this is a trait that is difficult to wrap our minds
around. Knowing all things, at all times, is a truly vast capability worthy of a
great God.
The Scriptures tell us
that the great God fills the heavens and the earth, (Jeremiah. 23: 24); knows
all the stars of Heaven and “calleth them all by their names” (Psalms 147: 4).
He has total awareness of the minutest detail and even knows the number of hair
on our head (Matthew 10: 30).
No human action can
escape His gaze. For those who think they can, the Bible has a stern warning:
“Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their
works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? And who knoweth us?” (Isaiah
29:15). In the same vein, Daniel assures us that “He revealeth the deep and
secret things; He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with
Him” (Daniel 2: 20).
God sees our actions
and knows our every thought. He “searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the
imaginations of the thoughts” (I Chronicles 28: 9). In the New Testament, the
Apostle Peter tells us that, “God knows the hearts” (Acts 15:8). Furthermore, he
adds that “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight; but
all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do”
(Hebrews 4:13).
God, therefore, has
total knowledge of every particle in the universe. Every human action is
naked before Him, and no thought or attitude can ever escape his awareness. He
is, indeed, the all-knowing God.
