Our knowledge is very limited isn’t it?
Even when we think we know something
we’re often wrong.

Fortunately, that’s not true of God.
God knows everything,
and he is never wrong.

God is Omniscient (All-knowing): God knows all that can be known. His knowledge includes every possible thing that exists, has ever existed, or will ever exist. 

Hebrews 4:13 "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare to Him to whom we must give account."

Psalm 139:1-6
O LORD, you have searched me
   and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
   you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
   you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
   you know it completely, O LORD.
 5 You hem me in—behind and before;
   you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
   too lofty for me to attain.  (NIV)

The Message:
1-6 God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.
   I'm an open book to you;
      even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking.
   You know when I leave and when I get back;
      I'm never out of your sight.
   You know everything I'm going to say
      before I start the first sentence.
   I look behind me and you're there,
      then up ahead and you're there, too—
      your reassuring presence, coming and going.
   This is too much, too wonderful—
      I can't take it all in!

God knows everything about me….and He still loves me!

Why?  Because He created me!  You are not an accident.  You were in His heart before you were ever created in your mother’s womb.

He’s knows everything about us...our actions  “You know when I sit and when I rise”
Our thoughts:  “You perceive my thoughts from afar.”

Our words even before we say them!  “Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.”
So, why not trust this God who knows everything?

He loves you and wants to help you along the path called life. 

Trust Him!
