God Knows

TITLE: God Knows

TEXT: Psalm 139:1-6

INTRO: When we lived in NC, people had an expression they used when they didn't understand something, they would say, "God Knows." That's true, of course because God is Omniscient He knows everything, including some things you might wish He didn't know about.

Human knowledge has doubled every two years since 1960 and now is doubling at the rate of every 18 months.

We are living in an age of exploding knowledge and change.

The subject of the first six verses is God’s omniscience.

He knows everything.

He knows me, and He knows you.

He knows us completely and thoroughly.

He knows us intimately.
