Our grandson Connor made a very interesting comment when he was a little boy. His parents (our daughter and son-in-law) were praying for him when he was fighting some minor illness, asking God to heal him. When nothing happened, he told them, “Jesus doesn’t have enough hands to heal everyone.” That was his childlike way of explaining his continued sickness. Jesus only had so many hands with which He could touch the sick. He couldn’t get to everyone.
As much as we can smile at his childlike, innocent faith, we too can limit God in our thinking. After all, isn’t it difficult for us to understand the fact that right now, all around the world, God is listening intently to every single one of His children praying in a host of different languages, giving full attention to each one? We may affirm in our thoughts that we believe this to be true, but do we really grasp the reality?

Do we really believe that, as I write these words and as you read them, God knows every thought every single person is thinking (and has ever thought), that He knows every single thing every human being (and angel and demon) is doing (and has ever done) and He is attending to our words and thoughts according to His plan at this very moment?
It is truly mind-boggling, far beyond our understanding. But isn’t that the very essence of omniscience, which means literally “the state of knowing everything”?
Recently, while using artificial intelligence, I received the tiniest glimpse into the vastness of the mind of God.
In short, we know that we can ask our AI bot a complex question in almost any language, and it returns a virtually instant, detailed response. (AI must be checked because it can be unreliable, but when it is accurate, it is stunning.)
