Almighty Intelligence

The disciples directed this statement to their Teacher, Jesus, as He was telling them what was going to happen in the next several days. It was hard for them to grasp the details of His passion that would soon unfold. Like them, we may find it difficult to grasp God’s characteristic of omniscience — knowing everything. Much of our personal information is now being gathered through AI, Artificial Intelligence. But God’s Almighty Intelligence is not artificial. It’s the real thing. He knows everything! He knows our needs, our concerns, and our doubts. He created us; He loves us. We say in the words of David, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). Rather than being overwhelmed by how much God knows about us, we can rest assured in the confidence that He loves us, protects us, and wants only what’s best for us.
