So God knows the end from the beginning, yet allows the free will of men to play itself out within that knowledge.  Oh, and just because He could, He simultaneously directs the heart of the king without violating that king's free will even while He knows the end from the beginning.  Brain goes tilt.  Clearly, as if we needed to be reminded, God is not like us.  Maranatha!!!

Indeed! :yes:

Romans 11:33 “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!”

:prayer-hands:

If you consider how many people are alive on planet earth on any given modern day, that's over 7 billion, and yet God is intimately aware of every single thought of every single person. WOW! It is truly mind boggling to think that any being can keep up with it all.

Yes, indeed ... I was always awe-struck that the Lord knows ...

“even the very hairs of your head are all numbered ...” Luke 12:7

and He listens to ALL our prayers at the same time

“For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer ...”  I Peter 3:12

These 2 facts have really built up my faith ... knowing nothing is too hard for God to fix or answer.  I expect miracles all the time. :yes:
