—Isaiah 9:2-7
by: Stephanie Ritchie.
Have you ever wondered why we have hindsight, but not foresight? If we possessed foresight, our lives would be different, right? We would make different choices. God possesses the ability of foresight for a reason; only he can truly know the future.
In promising his son, God knew the outcome of Jesus’ life. He knew where Jesus would be going and what he would be doing. Of course, no one else “truly” knew that because they didn’t know what the future held. So often we want to know the future, and the difficult part is that God knows the outcome and we don’t. We need to trust that we are in good hands with God.
