Knows Everything

Who is able to advise the Spirit of the LORD? Who knows enough to give Him advice or teach Him? Has the LORD ever needed anyone's advice? Does He need instruction about what is good? Did someone teach Him what is right or show Him the path of justice? Isaiah 40:13-14 NLT
 
The Holy Spirit is Omniscient. He knows everything!
Has the LORD ever needed anyone's advice? Does he need instruction about what is good? Did someone teach him what is right or show him the path of justice? No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand. ... Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. Isaiah 40:14-15, 28 NLT. God is all knowing…everything is within His grasp and understanding—far beyond ours.
 
After Job had questioned God…Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind.  He said:  Who is this who obscures My counsel with ignorant words?  Get ready to answer Me like a man; when I question  you, you will inform Me.  Where were you when I established  the earth? Tell Me, if you have  understanding.  Job 38:1-4 HCSB. Only God knows everything…and can see all of time. He is awesome. Do you think that you can tell God anything? He knows what you are going to say…even before you say it. The thing that amazes me is that He loves us. We are but a grain of sand…but He cares about us. He really cares. Enough to send His own Son to die in our place. That’s a lot of love…a lot of caring—deeply. It would be hard to give up my son…my only son (I only have one!) to die so that someone else could live. But that was God’s plan—and that is just how it happened. Amazing love. You are worthy of His love…even when you don’t feel like you are. I know…I feel the same way sometimes. Unworthy. But God knows my heart…and that I love Him—with my whole heart, soul, mind and strength. Jesus said…"YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." Luke 10:27. Look into your own heart. How much do you love the Lord? Can you love Him more—with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength?
 
Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, You know everything about me…and You love me anyway. Guide my heart, and the hearts of my family and friends that we would live in a way that is pleasing to You and draws other to desire a relationship with You, too.
