God is a Know-It-All

This past Sunday, I began a new series of messages called, "Scrubs." The text for the series is Psalm 139, which is filled with references to the omniscience (all-knowing character) of God. By itself, that's an awesome thought! Just think: God knows everything! All the facts of the scientific world. All the figures of the mathematical world. All the formulas of the engineering world. He knows every species of the animal kingdom, every star in the solar system, and every symptom in the medical profession. He knows it all.

Yes, it's true: God is a know-it-all.

But here's the kicker. He not only knows everything there is to know about everything...he actually knows ME! (And since you're reading this, let's make it personal: He knows YOU!)

Read Psalm 139 and see for yourself. If I go up to the heavens, God's there. If I go to the depths, He's there. If I go to the far side of the sea, yep, you guessed it--He's there. In the light, in the dark--either way, He's still there. He knows my thoughts. He knows my words before I speak them. (That's scary.) He sees me when I sit and when I rise. Today, tomorrow, all my days were numbered before one of them came to be. Get the picture?

He's a know-it-all. But that's OK, because here's the coolest part. He loves you as you are. That's real love. Morning breath. Bad hair. Wrong-side-of-the-bed mornings. He sees it all...and He loves you. Road rage. Pressure at work. Sneaking that last piece of chocolate cake before bedtime. He sees it all...and He loves you. Blown fuses. Blown tempers. Blown promises. He sees it all...and He loves you.

Don't you just hate "know-it-alls"? I used to...but not any more!
