Did you know that God does not live through time with you? God is outside of time, because He created time. He sees your life from the very beginning to the end on this Earth, and then He sees you in Heaven with Him. If you stop and think about it, He knows your tomorrow better than you know your yesterday. Not a single detail escapes Him. What’s so amazing is that He has already planned your escape for situations that you haven’t even walked into yet! He’s already seen you come out of things you haven’t even gone into. And He also provides the answer to your need, even before the need arises.
Not a single thing hits God unexpectedly. He knows it all. Everything. He knows your afflictions will bring Him glory. God wants to make sure you get where you are supposed to be going and He will do that by removing people from your life that would prevent you from getting to your expected end. God only ties your future to the people who stay and are supposed to be there! It’s like your life is a beautiful masterpiece, and when someone exits your life, He doesn’t repaint the picture, because they were not supposed to be in it. He knows the outcome of your life, and He will remove the people to accommodate His masterpiece! Why? Because He says, “I have called you by name. you are Mine!” How awesome is that!
