The Omniscience of God

The wise man lives with a conscious realization
that God sees knows and observes everything
for He alone is the maker of all history
nobody can change this fact whatever they bring

The foolish man is pleased to close himself
to the truth of God's  knowledge about him
thinks only that he knows always best
such is the wisdom of man but so dim

The unconverted man has a conscience
for he knows there is indeed a God
but suppresses every thought of evidence
convincing himself eternity is flawed

But God brings divine reprobation
which is where God allows man a free reign
in their sinfulness rush into displeasing God
committing sins pleasurable full of stain

There's a cure for society to find redemption
that's getting hold of God's true view
as the forefathers had in the reformation
God's merciful forgiveness can make one all new

O blessed omniscient sovereign God
how we all should love and obey
you in this life for your own glory
then enjoy your infinite love for eternity

Hi Gordon, The fact that God is omnipresent is comforting, but he also gave us logic which we should use as a guideline to draw us nearer to him. Your poem is excellent Gordon, hope many take heed! Best Wishes, Jennifer

Words written with heart...I know the atrocities of life can dim the hopes of many... Most likely God will light the dark and dim when he sees fit...for it's hard to see otherwise so well embedded the deception...you write like a teacher of love...All the best Gordon
