“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! ‘For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?’” (Romans 11:33-34)
Meditating on the magnitude of God’s omniscience leads us to reverence and wonder. Paul uses the word, “depth” here to measure the magnitude of God’s wisdom and knowledge. As soon as I begin to think about this subject I realize that I am out of my depth—that God’s knowledge far exceeds not only my understanding but even the ability to understand how great is God’s understanding. I don’t even know how much I don’t know—and neither do you!
God’s judgments are described as “unsearchable”—that is, begin today and make it your lifetime pursuit—combine that with the knowledge of every man and angel—and you will not even have scratched the surface of what God knows! We will never know all that God knows. The Scripture speaks of God’s omniscience as, “His ways past finding out!” We will have all eternity to relentlessly pursue knowing all God knows and never know it all!
This should fill us with reverence and wonder—to be in awe of such a God. Worship Him today. Let Him direct your path. He already knows the end of your day before you take a step!
