Jesus and Me, Part 6: A Right Picture

Grant Fishbook, Lead Teaching Pastor

What does God look like to you?

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
Psalm 139:7

Three Attributes of God

Omniscience (God knows everything)

Omnipresence (God is everywhere)

Omnipotence (God is all-powerful)

Psalm 139:1–10
You have searched me, Lord,
      and you know me.
² You know when I sit and when I rise;
      you perceive my thoughts from afar.
³ You discern my going out and my lying down;
      you are familiar with all my ways.
⁴ Before a word is on my tongue
      you, Lord, know it completely.
⁵ You hem me in behind and before,
      and you lay your hand upon me.
⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
      too lofty for me to attain.
⁷ Where can I go from your Spirit?
      Where can I flee from your presence?
⁸ If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
      if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
⁹ If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
      if I settle on the far side of the sea,
¹⁰ even there your hand will guide me,
      your right hand will hold me fast.

…God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 1 John 3:20
