Path of Constancy

[Netchaplain]

Only He who has created foreknows the direction which all choose to travel, which from the point of incarnation is a constant, and never changes! He knows “the end from the beginning“ (Isa 46:10) of all things and therefore knows if our direction of travel will always be either toward Him or away from Him.

One might have the understanding that we can at times traverse toward God and then away from Him or even back again toward Him, but this would conflict with the reasoning that since one’s end will be apart from God, there is only one direction that can to be traveled. It doesn’t matter which way we think we are traveling, if our overall desire isn’t always to move towards God—who is forever blessed above all!

I do like the Alpha and Omega considerations of Revelation 1.

Reminds me of this . . .

Romans 8
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 he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

God knows the direction His children are going, and everything is under His care!
Much love!

He knows “the end from the beginning“ (Isa 46:10) of all things and therefore knows if our direction of travel will always be either toward Him or away from Him.

That reminds me of the wise man who said:-

"When you cannot feel His Presence , ask yourself, who move?"

Christian in Pilgrims Progress went off the road. He lay down and fell asleep.

Yet I believe that whenever our hearts grow cold....The Father will always faithfully and lovingly blow on the dying embers until they alight again.

"If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself. "
2 Tim 2:13

Amen, which is indicative of "From everlasting to everlasting" (Psa 90:2).

True, and as it has been said, "We've always been on His mind!

Really good way of putting it!

Yes, God never leaves us alone, and nothing enters the lives of those who are (and will be) His without His tender control of it all! Knowing this suffices all!

Thanks, and that's what I though first time I read it. God's omniscience answers more of the spiritual growth truths than any other attribute. One good puzzler here is when did They decide to create man, of which They also had foreknowledge!?*#
