Doesn’t this look like Clark Gable?

"33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! 34'For

who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?'

35'Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?' 36For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever.

Amen." -- Romans 11:33-36

I. God Knows All Things.

“Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your

mouth, For the LORD is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are

weighed.”-- 1 Samuel 2:3

God Knows All Things.

“For He looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole

heavens.”-- Job 28:24

God Knows All Things.

"And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are

naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." --

Hebrews 4:13

God Knows All Things.

“9Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me,

10Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times

things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do

all My pleasure.’” – Isaiah 46:9-10

God Knows All Things.

“For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You

know it altogether.” – Psalm 139:4

“3And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the

tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with

them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes;

there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have

passed away.’”-- Revelation 21:3-4

“A deterministic view of life leads people to a sense of fatalism, like the

little old lady who tripped and fell down the stairs to her basement. She

got up, dusted herself off, and said, ‘Well, I’m glad I got that over with.’

We are not helpless and hopeless: we are free moral agents, who have been

gifted by God with the capacity to respond to the gospel!” – Dan Williams

“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

– James 5:16

“When people fail to realize that human beings have free will, it can

lead to a sense of fatalism, the dead-end doctrine that since everything is ordained we are

helpless and hopeless to affect our own destiny.” – Dan Williams

II. God Answers Prayers.

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty

things, which you do not know.” – Jeremiah 33:3

“For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask

Him.”-- Matthew 6:8

“5If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be

given to him. 6But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is

like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7For let not that

man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a

double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” – James 1:5-8

“I know not by what method rareBut this I know, God answers

prayer.I know that he has given his WordWhich tells me prayer is always

heardAnd will be answered soon or lateAnd so I pray and calmly wait.”

“I know not if the blessing sought Will come in just the way I thought

But leave my prayers with him alone

Whose will is wiser than my ownAssured that he will grant my quest

Or send some answer far more blessed.”

― Eliza M. Hickok
