God's omniscience is a concept that can be difficult for humans to understand, yet the Scriptures are clear that He knows all things, including every idle word spoken. This knowledge is a reminder that God does not forget and will hold us accountable for our actions. Despite this, the encouraging side of God's omniscience is that He knows and understands us, and will supply all our needs according to His riches and glory.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. God is omniscient. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. Acts 15, 18. Although the concept of absolute knowledge is general to almost all ideas of God, it is perhaps the most difficult for any human being to understand.
Most of us work very hard to obtain knowledge, and in most cases, even harder to retain it. The practical issue with this teaching is we forget that God does not forget. The Lord looketh from heaven, he beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashioneth their hearts alike.
He considereth all their works. Deep in the heart of every man is the fear that God's omniscience is very real. But we spend much of our waking hours attempting to override that concern. yet the Scriptures are absolutely clear. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Ah, but the wonderful and encouraging side of God's omniscience is that He does know. Our Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me. Thou knowest my downsetting and mine uprising. Thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it all together. With that kind of knowledge it is no wonder that My God shall supply all your need according to His riches and glory by Christ Jesus.
