You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
(Psalm 139:1,7,13 NIV)
Infinite God is incomprehensible to finite man. It’s impossible to wrap our heads around all that God is and all that He does. He is God. We are not. His ways and thoughts are higher than ours. In an attempt to understand Him, we can ponder some of His attributes.
God is omniscient. He is the all-knowing Creator. He knows every detail of our existence. God laid the earth’s foundation and set the constellations in their places. Yet, at the same time, He knows the very number of hairs on our heads. Science only discovers what God knew from the beginning.
God is omnipresent. He is everywhere at the same time. He sees all. We cannot flee from His presence. This fact is comforting when we feel alone yet sobering when we attempt to run from Him. There is no escape.
God is omnipotent. He is all-powerful. He spoke creation into existence! The sun rises and sets at His command. He is sovereign over life and death. God’s power raised Jesus from the dead.
As we ponder God’s attributes, we are compelled to place our trust in Him! He alone is worthy! Isn’t this a comforting thought to our heart and soul?
