He Knew…

By Edward Dedloff


 

God’s timing has never failed to amaze me…

 

There are so many events and instances in life that could be attributed as being “lucky” or declared as things that “just happened.” There have been times in my life when I thought I was going to be dead or that I should’ve died. I’m talking about things like car accidents, almost drowning, near falls and near misses—and I wondered how I managed to get out of danger.

 

I’ll tell you why. God had a hand in it.

 

Many things that happen in our lives seem coincidental or we cannot find a rhyme or reason for the things that go right or go wrong in our lives. If we are trusting in God’s plan for us and if we pay attention to the details, we will often find that when we are in tune with where He wants us to be, we get in our lives what He desires for us. God can protect us from unforeseen circumstances that may put us in harm’s way, or he may let us extend ourselves a bit more to help us realize where we are about to fall.

 

Many times it becomes an occurrence in our lives when we ask God: “Why God?” or “Why now God?” or “God, what took so long?” We wonder about his timing for us in all the things that we face but in the end, there’s one thing we cannot discount or put a finger on.

 

It is because He knew. He knows a lot about everything from before we were born until the day he knows we will ultimately die the first physical death.

 

Luke 12:7: “But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.”

 

Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

 

Yes. God’s timing. Can anyone relate to that? Can you think of an occurrence or an event in your life where the hand of God had kept you safe? Can you think of a close call that not just kept you from harm or dying but even put you in a position where you might’ve been spared from an everyday life incident that could’ve turned out differently? Can you think of a time in your life where something told you that what you were about to embark upon gave you that odd feeling of not being right?

 

We often find that many times that certain people come into our lives for a reason and others that we meet are kept away. Often times we think of what a blessing someone has been to us at an opportune time and how things worked out well to have the person who was needed at that time. Why? It is because there is a reason for anything that happens at a perfect time when we reflect on it. He knew!

 

Many times throughout our working careers we’ve been given opportunities for jobs in other places. There are many times we contemplate a move when we feel everything is right about the move but due to our situation or how it would ultimately affect our family and their future, something puts us on hold.

 

Many times there may be an obstacle or an event that could change our lives negatively by uprooting our spouses from their work or our children away from their school and their friends. We may be in for unforeseen consequences that God knew all along, situations that we did not see coming. Last but not least, there may be a reason we are staying right where we are in our home church and church family as well.

 

But this is not always the case. Before I came to Jesus and asked him into my life, I moved due to my airline job. At the time, I could not figure out any reason why I should move other than I needed the job and it was one of a few places that my work was being relocated. Reluctantly, I still went on with it, and it turned out to be a very good move.

 

Not just financially. Not just because that is where I met my wife. Not just because of the people I’ve met. Not just because it allowed me the opportunity to elevate my life in many ways. More important, it wound up being where eventually, a sinner in need of the Savior had the timing of deep convictions, and later the right people put into my life that helped bring about that life changing event. Again, it is because He knew.

 

When it comes to spreading the message of the gospel, God may keep us where we are if we listen to the guidance the Holy Spirit puts on our hearts. But on the other hand, we may wind-up where we are needed elsewhere, where we can have the potential to further his kingdom.

 

It could very well be a missionary calling. Praise to the men and women who take their families far and wide to all parts of the world on the forefront of carrying out the Word of the gospel. That commitment is awesome and they are a blessing to us all. When it is all said and done, we will know that there was a reason why God chose select people to effectively go far and wide, and why others were meant to stay and do his work right where they are. It’s because He knew!

 

Take the time and count your blessings knowing that God has had your back through good times and bad. There is yet a further calling and purpose in everyone’s life. If we pay attention, the sense of knowing that God is trying to tell us something may hit us directly on the head, or we may receive subtle hints at other times. Open your mind and heart and be receptive.

 

If you are not saved and have not asked the Lord Jesus Christ into your life and accepted the precious gift of eternal life through Him — and you’ve been thinking about it, do it today. Tomorrow may not come to give you another chance.

 

As you begin to grow and learn the things of God you will come to know the intricate path of events in your life that brought you to where you are now. You will begin to recognize more clearly what God’s intended purpose and fulfillment is for your life. Your eyes will be opened to a sense of knowing, and to a calling greater than you ever imagined.

 

Let yourself go and let God do that work in you. It may not be as grand a scale as you anticipated but embrace it and accept it. He will always bring fulfillment and move you to new levels as He knows what you’re capable of. He has a plan for your life if you let Him fill you with the desires He wishes for you.

 

Then one day, you will stand before the Lord Jesus Christ, and when He gives you that sense of knowing that you are where you are supposed to be, you will say, “Lord, you knew all along”…

 

For His glory….

      In addition it should be said that even if the dark side has come to you…God is in it. He just expects that you can do something very special for Him.

    • Truth in Reporting

      KO KOO, KO KOO, KO KOO!

      These “do-nothing christian” types ARE the reason that the usa ends now!
      They do NOTHING but wait…………. And wait………………… and wait……………………….and wait…………………… and wait……… to be “Saved’ by a fellow white-skinned male human “god’!

      They, indeed, are ALL Lunatics!
      Simply, Ko KOO!
      No hope for them…at all!
      They will blame their “inaction” on “god’, of course!

      • Mirabolin

        Oh hello, the baby “Christian” is having another one of his rants!

      • Greg

        You can’t help yourself Chris and it’s sad to watch.

        Your blubbery flesh is infected and you are but a smelly host to an urge of little consequence.

        I bet it hurts with every key stroke…. Like a claw to the head.

        ( the infected are COMPELLED to identify themselves over and over. Your “smell” is easy to pick out of a crowded room )

        • Truth in Reporting

          I get the STRONG ODER of BEEF from you, new guy on BIN, nik rem, of the Kingdom of Flem!
          You write the same worth less way, Jed of New Jersey!

          Another WORTHLESS “Defender of the Fable”, nik-ed by Flem!
          HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
          Go PREY on someone, eh, nik rem of the Kingdom of Flem!

          You need to get your sense of smell checked tout de suite.

          You think we are all stupid yes man like your little puppet “Dieter”?

          You’ve made some serious tactical errors “False Christ Bearer”

        • HumanBeing

          “do-nothing christian”, “do-nothing christian”, “do-nothing christian”….

          That phrase TIR keeps using sounds eerily familiar, like someone from another conspiracy board. Hm…..

        • Greg

          “like someone from another conspiracy board.”

          Can you share a link by any chance “HumanBeing” ?

          Let’s see if we can put it to the smell test.

        • HumanBeing

          I’ve been trying to find a link, Nik, but this was quite a while ago and their search function isn’t exactly robust. They use rather old, proprietary forum software. All I can say is that this person is likely not in the US.

        • HumanBeing

          PS: the board itself rhymes with “mod like constructions”.

        • Greg

          Thank you HumanBeing,

          As someone of little or no consequence once said:

          “The word “apocalypse” means to reveal the truth. Everything will be
          unveiled”

        • HumanBeing

          You’re quite welcome, Nik. :smile:

          Yes, everything will be unveiled, all in good time.

        • Truth in Reporting

          Attention:
          We interrupt this mutual circle jerk to bring you an important message!

          PhewMan being said: “Yes, everything will be unveiled, all in good time.”

          Attention nik rem, King Of Flem and P U Man being!

          Nothing will be unveiled TO EITHER OF YOU village idiots, oh, Defenders of the Fable! :cry: :cry:
          HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

          Speaking of Fables I would assume since you are “not American” you wouldn’t be able to help me make a decision on a great school to send my kid to.

          This one is going to you HumanBeing since you appear to be American and Chris Creeps isn’t from California at all.

          Was thinking of this one…

          Nik,

          Don’t know much about schools in Cali, but private should be okay, depending on who the benefactors are. Pricey though. Charter schools can be good or bad depending on the area, and of course there’s always homeschool if Big Bro doesn’t give too much grief about it.

        • Greg

          Really loving the title of this article “He Knew…”

          Thanks for the input boys.

          A local gifted seer pulled that VERY school out of thin air and told me to do whatever it takes to get her in there. I believe the words she used was “sight unseen”

          Maybe the universe is trying to tell you something Chris Creeps.

          Your wife’s name coincidentally is a FEMALE form of Christian.
          Another reference to “Christ Bearer”

          I suspect your blathering and false bravado are driving more people to seek out The Savior than turn away. Perhaps your name, your wife’s name and your child’s name where ordained from above?

    • ignis fatuus

      I like how all mention of this story just got wiped from the ‘Prophecy’ page. No ‘most commented’ stories listing for you, Mr. Rolls.

      Sorry about that.

      Guess you’ll have to take it up with management.

      If any insane rats answer the phone, just tell em to buck up for the S.U.D/s and stop being obtuse.

      Don’t start none; won’t be none.

      None of them have any idea what hate is. And neither do I, for that matter, but I stand on a far firmer field.

      • Greg

        Strange indeed.

        http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/hate.htm

        “In 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold attacked their high school in Columbine, Colo., killing 12 students and a teacher and wounding 24 others, and left behind hateful online rants against society to explain their actions [source: Chua-Eoan]. But it also soon emerged that Harris had been treated with medication for depression, and some believed his despair made him more susceptible to hatred [source: Associated Press]. Other even more notorious hate-mongers, like Hitler and Osama bin Laden, have been diagnosed by mental health experts — albeit from a safe distance — as suffering from narcissistic personality disorder and other mental conditions [sources: Coolidge, Diamond].

        Based on those examples, it’s tempting to jump to the conclusion that those who feel hatred toward others are mentally ill. But that doesn’t explain the vast numbers of ordinary Germans and Bosnian Serbs who morphed from friendly neighbors to eager murderers of their countrymen. That’s why some mental health experts think that if the tendency to hate is a disease, it’s more akin to herpes than a rare cancer.”

        I think Chris Creeps would have to agree with the above excerpt that “hate is like herpes” :roll:
