For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. – Isaiah 55:8
While calling someone a “know-it-all” today is not complimentary, in centuries past, it was possible to have somewhat of a grasp on almost every topic. For example, Athanasius Kircher, a German Jesuit living in the seventeenth century, pioneered thought in comparative religion, geology, biology, medicine, mathematics, and Egyptology. He came very close to knowing everything he could in his day. He is most notably remembered for inventing the megaphone!
Knowing God in His fullness is impossible. Ask the question “Who is God?” at your next dinner party and observe how inadequate human language and understanding can be. Most people resort to describing the transcendent Creator and Author of reality by personality or character traits.
The Bible depicts God as a complex Being, self-existent, without origin, never changing, all-powerful, all-knowing, always everywhere, always perfect, always faithful, endlessly kind, and slow to anger. And He deemed it necessary to become human!
God in human form is equally complex. The Man Jesus, always being God, was yet always completely human. He was equal with God, but also called Him Father, and submitted to His will. Jesus deepened the understanding of God’s multifaceted nature by introducing the Holy Spirit to humanity before He left Earth.
Though you cannot fully understand God, He completely understands you! He merely asks you to believe… in His LOVE and in His SON. Ask Him today to open your understanding more in 2026 than ever before. Intercede for people across the globe to join you in worshiping the Heavenly Father, the One True God, through His Son, Jesus Christ. Ask that believers in government would be strong and ready witnesses to the reality of God in their lives.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
