Hi, our Daily Bread family, and thanks for joining us for today's devotional reading. It was written by Jennifer Benson Schult, and she titled it, The Greatest Teacher.

I don't get it. My daughter slapped her pencil down on her desk. She was working on a math

assignment and I just begun my job as a homeschooling mom-slash teacher. We were in trouble.

I couldn't recall what I'd learned 35 years ago about changing decimals and diffractions.

I couldn't teach or something I didn't already know, so we watched an online teacher explain

the skill.

As human beings, we'll struggle at times with things we don't know or understand, but not

God.

He's the all-knowing one, the omniscient one.

Isaiah wrote, who can instruct the Lord as his counselor?

Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way?

Who was it that taught him knowledge or showed him the path of understanding?

The answer?

No one.

Humans have intelligence because God created us in his own image. Still, our intelligence

is just an inkling of his. Our knowledge is limited, but God knows everything from eternity

past to eternity future. Our knowledge is increasing today with the aid of technology, but we still get

things wrong. Jesus, however, knows all things immediately, simultaneously, exhaustively, and truly,

as one theologian put it. No matter how much humans advance in knowledge will never surpass Christ's all-knowing status.

We'll always need Him to bless our understanding and to teach us what's good and true.

Today's Our Daily Bread Devotional Scripture reading is from Isaiah chapter 40, verses 12 through 14.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
