All's of God

"O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.  You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away.  You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.  You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.  You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!" Psalm 139:1-6

Omniscience; God knows all things.
How very humbling to know that God knows everything there is to know about me, even things that I don't yet know. He sees all because he is the one who has planned out my life, no matter how far I stray he still knows. This is something to wrap your head around. Amazing that He loves us that much!

"I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.  If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.  I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night- but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day.  Darkness and light are the same to you." Psalm 139:7-12

Omnipresence; God is in all places.
We cannot hide from God. So many times have we wanted to. Adam and Eve tried to hide from God as well.  He knew where they were but asked them anyway where they were hiding. God gives us chances to reveal ourselves to him.  No matter what we do that is wrong, God still loves us. Stop trying to hide from him, he already knows.

"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.  Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.  You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.  How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.  They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them ; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers! They blaspheme you; your enemies misuse your name. O Lord, shouldn't I hate those who hate you? Shouldn't I despise those who oppose you? Yes, I hate them with total hatred, for your enemies are my enemies.  Search me, O God, and know my heart;  test me and know my anxious thoughts.  Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." Psalm 139:13-24

Omnipotence; God can do all things.
God created us, every single detail. The color of our eyes, our hair, our skin even how tall or short we would be. How's that for being able to do all things?! He can and does do more than that! He can heal us from sickness (all kinds of sickness). In the bible Jesus (God in the flesh) turned the water into wine at the wedding at Cana. He raised Lazarus from the dead, and calmed the storm and fed the 5000. My God is an AWESOME God! His thoughts of us are also precious. When looking that word up in the dictionary it says that it is of high price. What a high price indeed that was paid for you and me!
