Regardless of God's revelation to us, our perception of God is bound up in time; the fact that our senses and perceptions are limited by our temporal existence is perhaps a reminder that men's descriptions of God are always abstractions of the reality of God’s being—we can’t help it. In the same way, a photograph—however realistic—is still an abstraction of the reality which it attempts to represent.
Below is a quote from Mike Horton's "God of Promise
"While much of the debate over God's sovereignty and human freedom turns on endless speculation about philosophical possibilities, the covenantal structure of God's relationship to creaturely reality is a much safer and profitable resource. The covenant is always the site where the Great King and his servants are recognized for what they are: unequal partners with their own way of existing, knowing, willing, and acting--one as Creator, the other as creature."
We must all be very careful when we meditate on the knowledge of God and how He has that knowledge. I am aware that we have Scriptural precedence to delve these depths somewhat, by those precedence are also boundaries.
