I think I've responded to this before that if God is essentially a perfection of all things then he has no values, as by being all things, he must essentially pull in all directions at once, ultimately resulting in no movement whatsoever. But God does pull in some directions, preferentially to others. Take for example your very words that he is these things in perfect harmony -- a harmony of anything can only be expressed in terms of values, so the appeal to perfect harmony is essentially circular. So the "Everything to Everyone" answer to me doesn't really cut it.
