All (Always) - The Ultimate Gift

The word all is a short one but packs a powerful punch. As a result, “all” is in the running for my word of the year. In the days leading up to Christmas, I was especially drawn to the words “all” and “always” with regard to God. I find there is no middle ground with Him.

Have you ever taken a test or filled out a survey with the choices “always, sometimes, or never?” They can be tricky! Not so with God. Sometimes is not part of His equation. Unlike me, He is not wishy-washy. God is the same today as He was yesterday. And He will be the same tomorrow too. You can count on it! His character is always consistent, never swayed by circumstances.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
‭‭ Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬ ‭ERV‬‬

God is…

- - all-powerful (omnipotent)
    “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
    Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬
    
    There is NOTHING He cannot do.

- - all-knowing (omniscient)

“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.”
‭‭ Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

There is NOTHING He does not know.

- - always present (omnipresent).
    “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
    ‭‭ Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭20‬b NIV‬‬
    
    There is NOWHERE we can go to escape His presence.
    
    No matter what you are going through right now, I pray that these truths from God’s Word bring you comfort…always.
