Psalms 147:5 - "Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit" (NIV).

Rom 11:33-34 - "Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 'Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?'” (NIV).

1 John 3:20 - "For God is greater than our hearts and knows everything" (NIV).
You can't outsmart God. A battle of wits with Him will always be a no contest (Job 38:1-3). Yet, we still try to prove that our knowledge and understanding can match His own. When we don't listen to God's voice or seek His wisdom, we reveal our unbelief in His all-knowing capability. The Bible tells us that God's understanding has no limit and that He knows everything. This should bring great comfort to us. We often fear what we don't know. But, the all-knowing God can give us the right direction every time. He also gives us hope. There is no problem that God cannot solve. We simply need to ask of Him with faith, and He will give His wisdom to us (James 1:5-6). God has such riches of wisdom and knowledge to share with us. If we would only but listen.

Memorization 

​James 1:5-6 - "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind" (NIV).
