The atheist wrote on the chalkboard:
"GOD IS NOWHERE."
But a Christian used an eraser and
made a significant change, so it read:
"GOD IS NOW HERE."
The theologians call this omnipresence:
God is present everywhere at all times.
Omniscience is the theological word for
God's knowledge, and it simply means
that God knows everything.
What does God actually know about us?
He knows what we do, our "downsittings"
and "uprisings". This refers to the daily
activities of life. He knows what we think,
and He knows it even before we think it!
God also knows where we go. God knows
what we say, and like our thoughts, He
knows our words before we speak them.
God tries our hearts and knows even our
motives that lie behind our words. This
explains why we must constantly pray,
"Let the words of my mouth, and the
meditation of my heart, be acceptable in
Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my
redeemer."
Finally, God knows what we need, and
therefore, He keeps His guiding and
restrainting hand on us.
Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, the great
expositor, once said,
"When all of my attempts at exegesis fail,
I worship."
A vision of God ought to give us a burning
heart, not a big head.
