"In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will." (Ephesians 1:11)
My memories on Facebook popped up and 8 years ago I wrote "Thank God for giving you what you need, and more importantly not giving you things you don't!" I remember where I was in that moment and thinking back it applies even more now than it did then. In fact I couldn't imagine how significant that statement would impact my current life. God is great, plain and simple. He does things as He knows it should be done and He calls on us to have the faith to trust in that. Have you ever thought about things you've asked God for and in the moment your frustration out weighs your faith when it doesn't come? Then you look back and realize why it didn't! If you only knew then what you know now. Maybe you wouldn't have been so frustrated, angry, confused. Maybe, though, now you will be less compelled to question why. Though, let's face it, we will question it again. We will and God already knows that and at some point, maybe 8 years from now we will sit back and think, "I see what you did there God." We will remember once again that God doesn't answer prayers as we want, but will always answer as we need.
