Overview:

It is impossible for us to fully understand the knowledge, wisdom and majesty of God through a simple lesson such as this. The more that we understand about God, the more we understand how His ways and thoughts are not our ways or thoughts:

Psalm 139 says:  "O LORD, Thou hast searched me and known me. Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar. Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, and art intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O LORD, Thou dost know it all. Thou hast enclosed me behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it." Psalm 139:1-6 (NAS)
