Romans 12:19

              We use a lot of big words when we talk about God.

Omnipotent. Omnipresent. Omniscient. He is all-powerful, all-present, and all- knowing.

If a word means all encompassing, it’s probably been used to talk about God.

Where do these words come from?

These words express the upper limit of our ability to understand power, wisdom, and time.
When Scripture tells us about the power, wisdom, and eternal nature of God, how else could we describe him?

Here are some of the ways the Bible helps us understand our awe-some God:

1. Isaiah 55:8–9

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Scripture is full of God’s transcendence power. His nature and plan are infinitely beyond human understanding. God is infinitely different from us in His thoughts and ways. Because God is holy (Leviticus 19:2), we are to strive to reach the higher and nobler ideals of his thoughts and ways, as expressed by the command to ‘be holy.'

2. Isaiah 40:28

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

3. Job 26:14

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?

4. Psalm 147:5

Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.

5. Psalm 8:3–4

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

6. Luke 12:7

Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, you are of more value than many sparrows. 

7. Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.

8. Deuteronomy 10:17

For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and does not take a bribe.

God’s word is God Himself .
