God is omniscient, knowing everything. Paul Reber, professor of psychology at Northwestern University, said, “The human brain has the capacity to hold around 2.5 petabytes (or one million gigabytes). If one person’s brain worked like a video recorder, they would be able to hold up to three million hours of television shows.” That is a lot of knowledge for just one person, yet God knows the knowledge of every person that has ever lived and ever will live. God knows the answers to the questions that men cannot know, like how many hairs are on each human’s head, how many stars there are in the sky and how the human eye works. He knows a person’s deepest secrets and regrets, the pain one feels when he pricks his finger and the joy there is when the baby is born. Such a vast amount of knowledge is impossible for any one man to possess.
God is omnipresent, he is everywhere at the same time. People like to imagine being in two places at once, being able to go to school and be in bed at the same time, but what if someone could really could do that? God can, He can be at the bedside of the man dying in China, and be with the child in America who is saying his bedtime prayer. God can be walking on the Pacific shore and be walking on the Atlantic shore all at the same time he is speaking to someone’s heart in a church service. In Psalm 139:1-12 David tells how God was with him everywhere. Though man has dreamt of it, no person can truly be in more than one place at a time, only God can.
God is omnipotent, he has unlimited power and he is able to do anything. If one took all the fairy tail magic, Aladdin’s lamp, fairy dust and wands and all the imaginary power humans create in their minds, nothing can compare to the true almighty power of God. “O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?” (Deuteronomy 3:24). God does not need magic, he is the source of all power. God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing in six days. God controls the thunder of the skies, the wind of a hurricane, He controls the rotation of the earth, the sunrise and sunset, He controls even time itself. The Devil and all of his angels are no match for the almighty power of God. To grasp the full meaning of who God is, one can look at everything around oneself. Take note of the spider crawling on the ground, the shade from the oak tree, the blue sky, the iPhone in hand, even ones own body, and realize that none of it would exist without God. “For the Lord your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a great God.” (Deuteronomy 10:17a)
