Theres nothing wrong with planning, but God determines the outcome. And if He determines the ultimate outcome that is either eternal death or eternal life, since He will bring all peoples together before the judgment throne. So that whatever He declares at that time is what will happen for all eternity. Then we know that He has ordered all of these events in the knowledge He has as the future judge. Other wise He would need to be reminded of each persons experience. But if He is judge then He better be all knowing or we would all be able to stand in our own arguments. But God does bring all men to shut their mouths before Him. Who could stand before God if He judged us according to our sins? How can we be silenced if He did not know all of the sins of all of the world at all times?
Thank God that when we come to Him we come to a God who knows the beginning from the end or that He intimately knows all things. For He opens His hand all all the creatures are fed.
And since our lives begin when we are called to Him from all eternity, then our past sins are not brought to our account, since He has taken care of them for all eternity, they are not declared to be in our account as if time had a principle that could hold us down in our guilt and shame. We have busted out of time and now we stand in eternity before the all seeing eyes of God. And now we see with eyes that are beyond the past in time and our future is beyond time. Now our experience in this life is declared to be real in our position we hold in eternity. Our past is remembered no more since we are always looking to our calling, and that reality is our calling into a new view of our past. We have connections to the pre existence of that word spoken about us from the counsel of the Father into all eternity. We hear that divine call as if He is standing there telling us in a voice we can hear with our physical ears.
We know that our understanding of the present circumstances and our future plans are only as good as we can hear Him calling us into fellowship with the Spirit from our being cause to be raised up above this earthly kingdom to that heavenly kingdom where we receive from His providence. Now our future is far greater than we could ever imagine. We hear Him determine to teach us the absolute safety of all that we will need and do in the future. Since He has shown us His goodness by how He has made all these things to work in the universe, we know that if He has care for the smallest particles and the number of all of these very small things, that we being able to have a reflection of ourselves as being called from eternity past, then we are far more able to see that we are going to receive gifts far greater than we could ever imagine. So that what happens in this life is only a very small gain to our knowledge compared to growing in the knowledge of Him in all eternity.
