Recognize God’s Perfect Knowledge and Unsearchable Wisdom

Adoration 1.5 | NIV

That he has a perfect knowledge of all persons and things, and sees them all, even that which is most secret, at one clear, certain, and unerring view.

Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom I must give account, even the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12-13(NIV)

Your eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good: Proverbs 15:3(NIV) They range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to you. 2 Chronicles 16:9(NIV)

You search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve. Jeremiah 17:10(NIV)

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

Darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:12(NIV)

That his wisdom is unsearchable, and the counsels and designs of it cannot be fathomed.

Your understanding, O Lord, is infinite, for You count the number of the stars and give names to all of them. Psalm 147:4-5(NASB)

You have made Your counsel wonderful and Your wisdom great; Isaiah 28:29(NASB) You are wise in heart and mighty in strength. Job 9:4(NASB)

O LORD, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; Psalm 104:24(NASB) all according to the counsel of Your will. Ephesians 1:11(NASB)

Oh, the depth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! Romans 11:33(NIV)

Recognize God’s Perfect Knowledge and Unsearchable Wisdom

Adoration 1.5 | ESV

That he has a perfect knowledge of all persons and things, and sees them all, even that which is most secret, at one clear, certain, and unerring view.

All things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account, even the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12-13(ESV)

Your eyes are in every place keeping watch on the evil and the good: Proverbs 15:3(ESV) They run to and fro throughout the whole earth, that you may give strong support to those whose hearts are blameless toward you. 2 Chronicles 16:9(ESV)

You search the heart and test the mind, that you may give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds. Jeremiah 17:10(ESV)

O God, you have searched us and known us! You know when we sit down and when we rise up; you discern our thoughts from afar. You search out our path and our lying down and are acquainted with all our ways. Even before a word is on our tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. Psalm 139:1-4(ESV) Such knowledge is too wonderful for us; it is high; we cannot attain it. Psalm 139:6(ESV)

Darkness is as light with you. Psalm 139:12(ESV)

That his wisdom is unsearchable, and the counsels and designs of it cannot be fathomed.

Your understanding, O Lord, is infinite, for you determine the number of the stars, and give to all of them their names. Psalm 147:4-5(ESV)

You are wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom; Isaiah 28:29(ESV) wise in heart and mighty in strength. Job 9:4(ESV)

O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; Psalm 104:24(ESV) all according to the counsel of your own will. Ephesians 1:11(ESV)

Oh, the depth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! Romans 11:33(ESV)
