And We Know by Faith!
Romans 8:28-30 King James Version
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them
he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
I am so Thankful to have met John and Carl on yesterday at the rest home which has been their home for over 20 years. They are brothers who share a room and are both paralyzed from the neck down. A dear friend took me to meet them. Karen had told me about these brothers when I first moved back home. It has taken us two years to finally make this meeting possible. I believe it is absolutely in "God's Own Time" that it happened this time. I would not have been ready or prepared to meet them a year ago. I know this. I am so Thankful that God does predestine His called ones even as He prepares us through the justification of his Glorified Son, Jesus Christ!
On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, 2012, I shared Romans 8: 28 with a couple of quadriplegic brothers who have the faith that God has not forgotten them, even now over 20 years later! What Faith, and what a lesson of Trust I learned from John and Carl on yesterday! That is the "Now Faith" I have needed to experience in order to make my Faith journey a more completely trusting journey. As Proverbs 3: 5 and 6 reminds us, it is a wise thing to Trust in the Lord with all your heart, acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will make your paths straight. Thank you God for allowing John and Carl to teach your preacher, this important Faith Lesson!
