GOD's IQ

     Since the early 1900's when Psychology was in its infancy. Psychologists had sought ways to try to test for intelligence. This had led to a number of different tests and methods.

    In 1905 the Binet-Simon was the first to formalize a test for intelligence in children. Since that time there have been a variety of tests developed.

    When I was in school I had been tested many times for my dyslexia and dyscalculia (a learning disability with reading and math).

    Students today have to take a series of test that are designed to test where they are academically. High school students must take either the ACT or SAT. In order to join the military every, you will have to go through a series of test, one of which is the ASFAB. 

    When we talk about God and as we study the bible one of the things we can see is that God is in fact in intellectual being. God is in fact knowledgeable. 

    One of the ways we can know this is not just what God's word says but through creation it self. The world in which we live in is a kind of intelligent test that we all can examine and see. Its through creation that we can see the brilliance and creativity of God. When we look to how we are formed, as we study the cosmos, or look into the very building blocks of life, we are left stunned and in awe of the Divine intellect.

    Issac Newton said this "This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being. The CEO of Microsoft, Bill Gates says this about DNA (the building blocks of all life) "DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advance than any software ever created" Let that sink in for just a moment. Bill Gates is saying that DNA, (that some people believe just happened by chance) is far more complex than any software ever created. 

    While we can see intelligence through Creation, It's the bible that has the final word on the matter. It is the bible that helps us better understand the intelligence of God.

“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?- (Romans 11:33:34)

· “Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite- (Psalm 147;5)

“Even before there is a word on my tounge, behold, O Lord you know it all – (Psalm 139;4)

    There are many other passages of scripture that talk about the vast knowledge of God. Now if you would sum up all those passages together you will find that God is All knowing. Another words God is Omniscience. He knows you, your thoughts, how your feeling, your past, your future, in short God knows everything. 

    There are many ways I feel this truth should impact our lives today, however let me give you just one way that this should impact our lives. I believe that it should humble us. It should cause us to let go of our pride and self-sufficiency. In short it should lead us to draw closer to God in prayer. It should cause us to seek his guidance for our lives. 

    Listen to what King Solomon had to say on the subject.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understandings. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make straight your paths”- Prov 3:5-6

     So instead of trying to live our lives with our own limited knowledge, lets rely on someone more knowledgeable, someone who is laterally a know it all, the Omniscient God of the Bible.
