If you are married, I wonder does your wife ever say , '' I know you'', she says this in response to you saying,'' leave it to me I will do it'', the reason is simple, her reply is,'' you will forget''. Lets face it after 38 yrs of marriage , she knows what I'm like, and of course I know what she is like. Well not fully, there is always a hidden side of us, which no other person knows. When I say no other person, of course there is one person who does know us fully, God, we have this wonderfully illustrated in Psalm 139 v 1- 6. here is what it says,' You have searched me, and you know me. You know when I sit down and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is to wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain'. Here we have what is known as ,'The Divine Omniscience', meaning that He is all knowing, if it was otherwise He would not be God. Tozer in his book, 'The knowledge of the Holy', writes ,'To say that God is omniscient is to say that He possesses perfect knowledge and therefore no need to learn. But it is more ; it is to say that God has never learned and cannot learn'. He further says, 'He never discovers anything ,He is never surprised, never amazed'. The being of God is beyond our understanding, and yet by His grace and mercy we can know Him , as our heavenly Father, when by faith we trust Jesus as our Saviour.
