Powerful people often need personal assistants to whisper in their ear to remind them who someone is. If you've watched The Devil Wears Prada, you'll remember the pivotal scene where Andy, the heroine, is able to step in with the name and details of an approaching guest to assist the influential editor-in-chief Miranda. As the queen of the fashion world, Miranda is too powerful and "too busy" to remember all the little details of all the people -- who are supposed to be important to her.
As I was praying this morning during my drive to work, praising God for being the Creator of the heavens and the earth and thanking Him for putting the stars in their place and knowing the number of hair on our heads (who are 'people' that He should be mindful of us?) -- it dawned on me how amazing it is that the God of the universe would even bother to keep track of us -- it dawned on me that God is not like those powerful people in high positions in the business world. He does not need a personal assistant to whisper in His ear. He doesn't think it's too trivial to remember our names, our birthdays, our joys, our triumphs, our going out, our coming in... The most powerful being in the whole universe knows us by name. In contrast with those whose power pale in comparison to God's, isn't it amazing that He delights in knowing every detail of our lives?

Most certainly. The infinitude of His wisdom, and thus, power, is UNPARALLELED.
He knows everything AT ONCE. He doesn't recall, remember, or reminisce. It just IS. Like Him.
