Bible Note: Greetings CDBJ! Excellent comments my friend! This is definitely one of those theological truths which impact our lives in a very practical way. It was this truth which allowed me to survive the loss of my 9 month old son almost 15 years ago. We knew that God didn't cause him to die of congential heart defects, but we knew that everything fell under God's sovereignty and "good" plan. I'm usually operate more on the rational side than the emotional side, but it was an interesting experience in the sense that God was definitely preparing us for what was about to occur. We noticed that just a few months before David died that we suddenly got this urge to start getting a lot of pictures taken. Looking back, we really believe that God was preparing us for what was to come. He knows the end from the beginning and there isn't anything that can surprise Him! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
