5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
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.
That's the meaning of predestinate, prohoridzo, to set boundries in advance.
Amen!
Much love!
Wow. What a wonderful thread and such great responses. I have to stand in awe of His grace, too; how He was thinking of me LONG before I was even born. His love is beyond belief sometimes. V.5 insinuates that He loves us so much that He arranges things so we almost cannot stray from His path. He thinks of everything in advance. We may be stubborn and try to go our own way, but He hems us in so that even when we make mistakes He governs our courses and draws us back, right back to where we were supposed to be, in His grace.
What an amazing God we serve!
