Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent

Also known as, All Knowing, All Powerful, and All Seeing…

There are many people in the world today who truly believe that no one sees their hurt, no one cares about them, and no one can help them. They honestly believe that their current situation and their past is too much to even begin to fix. But they’re wrong. Because I know that GOD can take care of all of it. He did for me.

Often, I hear people say, “Yeah but, can He help ME?” My answer is, YES! He knew about you before you even realize. It’s way over our heads, but God knew you would come to this point in your life even before you did.

God is Omniscient – All Knowing. He created our entire universe. He knew from beginning to end how everything would turn out. Every person ever born, not born, or might have been born, God knows and knew about before we even thought about it. Every thought, plan, word, action, blink, breath, step, you name it, God knew it BEFORE it would happen.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ~Genesis 1:1, NLT

Speaking of that, God is Omnipotent – All Powerful. Creating the entire universe, from one galaxy, to planet, to star, to black hole, to water, earth, sky, cloud, mountain, blade of grass, atom, amoeba, germ, person, animal…microbe…the list is endless. God was and is powerful enough to create it all. He holds every person and animal’s life in His hands. It is so hard to fathom, but He does! He is there.

That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? ~Matthew 6:25-27

Speaking of even THAT, God is Omnipresent – All Seeing. He is everywhere, all the time, before time, during time, after time. He is the Beginning and the End. He was even before the Beginning, and He will be after the ending.

I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One. ~Revelation 1:8, NLT

Stick that in your pot and stir it around for a bit…. I’ll wait…

My whole point in this is that God is GOD, no matter how we look at Him. And if He can create this wild universe, don’t you think that He can handle any problem that you have? No matter how insignificant that you may think it is… God knows about it, knew about it before you did, and He can take care of it. But you have to ask Him. Then you have to let Him.

So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. ~Matthew 6:31-33, NLT

There isn’t anything too big, or too small, for God to handle.

 For nothing is impossible with God. ~Luke 16:37, NLT

There isn’t anything too far away that He can’t reach.

Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call. ~Isaiah 59:1, NLT

Why? Because before He created the world, He knew about YOU… and He loved you. He already knew what you would do, the things you’d get into, the problems that you would have…and He loved you regardless. That’s just how He is.

… God is love. ~1 John 4:8

You may think that no one cares about you or your problems. But God DOES. He knows, He sees, and He has the power to fix it. Don’t give up! God loves you dearly and He has a plan and a purpose just for YOU.
