From Alone in Majesty by William MacDonald:
"It is overpowering to think of all the knowledge of God. In our generation, we have witnessed an enormous knowledge explosion. In science, literature, philosophy, geography, history, and every other sphere, new books pour out in seemingly endless procession. Our libraries are glutted. Specialization is the name of the game. Experts are proficient in only a small field; they can never hope to cover the spectrum. But God has full knowledge of everything in heaven and on earth, and He doles this knowledge out to people in thimblefuls.
Whenever He does, these people are promptly acclaimed discoverers.
But there is still so much we do not know. Though we can travel to the moon, we can't understand how a bee can fly. Though we can transplant human hearts, we can't cure the common cold. We can conquer outer space, but we cannot conquer inner space. We can make war, but we can not make peace. We know so much, and yet we know so little. With God there are no mysteries, no insoluble problems, no puzzle...
This attribute of God should have a profound effect on our lives. How we should honor the Lord as we muse on the infinite dimensions of His knowledge! How we should sing Him praises!"
