I was talking to someone yesterday after skiing about this and said how I only see about 10% of what the future might be. I also said if I saw 100% of the future I likely would have to shoot myself because no one can deal with all that.
And I said sometimes it is good "When I am allowed to change the future to something better by God". But, it is awful when I have to see bad things coming that I cannot change.
This is the best way to say this.
Also, all of us are only human in the end and some of the things we see that can or will happen are beyond the capacity of any human to actually deal with in a useful way.
For example, 5 to 7 years before I broke up with my 2nd wife I had a deja vu experience where I realized this wasn't my last marriage and I was very upset by this because we were then raising 3 kids (not sure if the 4 th was born yet) so most kids were 15 to 20 years of age by then. I was very very upset that I was going to get divorced one more time because the three older kids had already lived through a divorce because this was a yours, mine and ours marriage already (my 2nd wife and I had been married to someone else before we married).
So, some things you really don't want to know about because it is just too much weight to carry. Although my 3rd marriage has now been 25 years and I have been very happy all this time with my 3rd wife so in this sense it was and is a very good thing for all my biological children.
So, living with knowing the future can be all sorts of things. But, here's the thing. If you listen carefully to the messages God gives you you and your family tend to survive even when everyone else doesn't.
So, in this sense it is a God Given gift of Grace that you and your family continue to live on no matter what.
By God's Grace
