Sometimes it is good that we dont know what is coming, that we dont know what is around the corner. There was something Paul didnt know as he sat in prison in Jerusalem. More than forty men had taken an oath to not or eat or drink until they had killed Paul. Acts 23:12. All kinds of things are going on that we have no clue about. But God is at work. God reveals to us as much as we need to know, when we need to know it not necessary more and certainly not less. In the military they have a term they use for sensitive information, need to know. They will say, this is on a need to know basis. In the same way, if you need to know something, God will tell you. The Lord knows your troubles before they come to you, he anticipates them by his tender foresight. If you are feeling lonely, if you are feeling hurt, if you are feeling betrayed or abandoned, or if you are feeling physical pain, know that Christ has been there. And He knows what is ahead of you as well. Chew on it.
