Have you ever wondered why God doesn't make things easier by telling us what will happen in the future? I'm not talking about the Revelation; I mean I know we win. I am talking about tomorrow or a few years from now. I am talking about God telling us if we will get married and when. If we will have children and how many. Have you ever thought about why God reveals the pieces to our life's puzzles little by little?
I know I'm not the only person who struggles with impatience and an insatiable need to know what lies ahead for me. Don't you sometimes wish that God would just tell you how something will turn out, so you don't have to face indecision or bad decisions? For instance, what if God would tell you the career that is best for you. Then, you wouldn't spend extra time in school, getting bad grades or constantly switching majors. But maybe you went through that because you needed to be more humble. Or, once you get to your dream career, couldn't God just show you how far you would go? Not likely because you might be too anxious too get there and try to take a short cut to the top. Ah, but what about relationships? I mean couldn't God have told me that my marriage wouldn't? Well, He did, but I didn't listen because I wanted to prove that I could make it work. Sometimes, God can't tell us where we are headed because there are things that He needs to fix in us, so we don't mess up our opportunities. Sometimes, when God does reveal something about our future, we try to make it happen instead of letting God control how it happens. Sometimes, we don't listen to what God does reveal because it is not what we want to hear. In essence, God won't tell us everything that will happen because we can't handle the truth. He gives us what we can handle and He knows what we can bear. Trust Him and be patient. The best is yet to come. Ms. EV

I believe God knows the past as he perfectly know the future. I think all we need to do is to hold a firm ground. Just like in marriage and break ups are common but there are also some people that God may have entrusted to share its knowledge and experience for others to take into view.
