Paul writes in Galatians, "But when He who had set me apart before I was born , and who called me by His grace..."
Can you imagine the joy between the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit? Before the foundations of the world... knowing that throughout all of history the moment would come when Paul, (who left to his own devices wreaks havoc on the young church) does a complete turn around and becomes God's greatest missionary. He didn't just translate God's word, He dictated it!!!
I have been thinking lately about the party in Heaven that the scriptures speak of. that when anyone gives there life to Christ there is a celebration in heaven. I believe it all begins with the Father.
A friend told me once that she believed that it was very difficult for God to not rescue us from our troubles. He restrains Himself so that the "work can have it's prefect way in us." He knows the greater good comes from allowing us to find Him in it. If He spoke a word into our situations and everything was great, we would probably forget about him. That would be devastating.
He love is so grand. He is perfectly patient with us. Waiting for that time when He is able to unfold those purposes that He has established us for.
Thank goodness we don't have the business to know what the future holds.
BUT....
We have the incredible blessing of knowing intimately, the One who holds our future.
