He Knew All Along

Have you ever wanted to see a movie and then your friend starts to tell you about it, and before you know it they've told you how it ends. I know for me it changes the movie, I spend the entire movie trying to figure out how everything play into the end, and I miss all the surprises and the plot twists become so predictable. It's never quit the same when you know the end ahead of time.
In light of that, I was just thinking about all the turns life takes. All the changes and decisions that we go through from the time we're born. If you stop and think, you come along way since you were born, you can eat different food, you wear different clothes, you have different friends, etc. I started to think about this as I was reading and typing an old writing journal from high school. I noticed how different my writing was then and how my attitudes had changed so much. What seemed so strong and profound then, seemed so hard and unwise to me now. You know always amazes me most though... He knew all along, God knew it all the whole time, everything that was going to happen, and He didn't rush the change.
God knew when I'd trust Him for salvation, and what it would take to get me to that place; He knew when I would surrender certain parts o f myself and let Him change me in that area. He knew when I'd and I grow out of some habits and what would change the way I see something. Knowing all this, He didn't rush me to any of those spots in life, but gently sovereignly guided me through and let change happen in it's own time.
Think of all the decisions we stress over in life ( things many times we can't change immediately anyway), did you know He knows the final outcome of them all. He knows how everything fits together, and how everything will turn out. But the great thing is (as some of you are no doubt thinking " I wish God would tell") God doesn't spoil the end for us He lets go through and grow through the process.
Well there is a lot that could be said on this one subject, but let me leave with this thought: how quick are you to rush someone by the process? Would you dare to take the risk of letting someone come through the learning process, rather than being quick to answer all their problems with solutions that rush them ahead in life? People need advice and counsel it's biblical, but just remember their story might not end like yours so don't be quick to give away the end.
