A belief that God is all-knowing. Omniscient is the theological term for “all-knowing,” and it simply means God is smarter and wiser than we have the ability to comprehend or imagine. Job recognized the vast difference between himself and God: “You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know” (Job 42:3). His observation about God’s ways being “too wonderful for me to know” captures the essence of faith: accepting what you don’t understand.
