GREAT IS OUR LORD JESUS!

“ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with W hom we have to do.” -HEBREWS 4:13 [KJV] God is omniscient. His knowledge is infinite in kind and extent. It is eternal. He knows all things past, present, and future; all things that ever have been, are, or ever shall be. In heaven, earth, and hell, nothing is hid from His all-seeing eye. God knows the hearts of all His creatures. God also knows all things which ever could have been, could now be, or could hereafter be on any conceivable supposition. His knowledge embraces all plans, all truths, all systems. God can neither learn nor forget anything. “Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite.” -PSALM 147:5 - Gospel report by preacher William Swan Plume r (1802 – 1880 A.D.)

Amidst the Storms - God Saves His People

"I will bear the indignation of the L ORD , because I have sinned against H im" -M ICAH 7:9 [KJV] It is a view of our sins against God that enables us to bear the indignation of the Lord against us and them. As long as we are left to a spirit of pride and self-righteousness, we murmur at the Lord's dealings when H is hand lies heavy upon us. But let us only truly feel what we rightly deserve: that will silence at once all murmuring. You may murmur and rebel sometimes at your hard lot in providence; but if you feel what you deserve, it will make you water with tears of repentance the hardest cross. So in grace, if you feel the weight of your sins, and mourn and sigh because you have sinned against God, you can lift up your hands sometimes with holy wonder at God's longsuffering mercy that H e has borne with you so long; that H e has not smitten you to the earth, or sent your guilty soul to hell. You will see, too, that the heaviest strokes were
