Our Daily Bread Today 12 October 2021
Topic: The Greatest Teacher
KEY VERSE:
Who was it that taught [the Lord] knowledge?
– Isaiah 40:14
Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 40:12–14
INSIGHT:
“I don’t get it!” My daughter slapped her pencil down on the desk. She was working on a math assignment, and I’d just begun my “job” as a homeschooling mom/teacher. We were in trouble. I couldn’t recall what I’d learned thirty-five years ago about changing decimals into fractions. I couldn’t teach her something I didn’t already know, so we watched an online teacher explain the skill.
As human beings, we’ll struggle at times with things we don’t know or understand. But not God; He’s the all-knowing One—the omniscient One. Isaiah wrote, “Who can . . . instruct the Lord as his counselor? Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge, or showed him the path of understanding?” (Isaiah 40:13–14). The answer? No one!
Humans have intelligence because God created us in His own image. Still, our intelligence is just an inkling of His. Our knowledge is limited, but God knows everything from eternity past to eternity future (Psalm 147:5). Our knowledge is increasing today with the aid of technology, but we still get things wrong. Jesus, however, knows all things “immediately, simultaneously, exhaustively and truly,” as one theologian put it.
No matter how much humans advance in knowledge, we’ll never surpass Christ’s all-knowing status. We’ll always need Him to bless our understanding and to teach us what’s good and true. By: Jennifer Benson Schuldt
REFLECT: In what types of situations are you thankful for God’s omniscience? How does knowing that Jesus understands everything encourage you?
PRAYER:
Jesus, I praise You as the One who knows everything. Teach me what You want me to learn, and help me to love You with all my mind.
Bible in a Year: Isaiah 39–40 Colossians 4
