The words for today is- Almighty!

Good morning,
The words for today is- Almighty! 
 
Lets look at the three O"s. The question? is God Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient? Yes! Now what does this mean, it means that God is" everywhere and having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things.” It is God who ultimately reigns in the universe, and all legitimate authority must derive from Him. The word says clearly that “with God all things are possible”, Matthew 19:26.Ask yourself,is there any physical location in this universe where we can hide from the presence of God?  According to Scripture, No!Lets read Psalm 139:7–10, about King David "s question directly, asking Jesus, “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell [the grave], behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me”. Did you get that? You can hide from people, but the almighty one you can not. There is no place where you can hide from His presence. Now,the most troublesome of the “Three ‘O’s is  His omniscience. Is God omniscient? Yes! The Bible tells us that God does perceive all things, which means that no fact can be hidden from His knowledge. As King David recognized: “Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You” read Psalm 139:12. God sees all things, and nothing can be hidden from His knowledge, not even the secret intentions of the heart, Psalm 44:21. In fact, He understands our own intentions better than we do ,Jeremiah 17:9-10; Hebrews 4:12! As Paul explains, “there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account”,Hebrews 4:13. Now as Human beings, there are limits to what the senses let us perceive and understand. But God’s senses are not limited like ours! His Spirit searches all things, 1 Corinthians 2:10, and nothing is beyond God’s ability to perceive it. In this sense, He is omniscient. Nothing can escape His gaze and His knowledge. If it can be known, He knows it! Now, God tells us in His word, “Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, "My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure",Isaiah 46:9–10. As we seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, let us be motivated by our high calling and our ultimate destiny!We should never forget that God has called us to become His sons and daughters, to share His level of existence with us for all eternity. A mystery that is difficult for humans to understand. By the word of His mouth, God created all that we see and all that is. Who can hide from or question the One who made him? No one! Who is equal to God? No one! Not one, He is almighty by Himself! Thank you God for your word. Amen !
