God, Who Prepares
(1Co 2:9-10)
?
Introduction
We would not be able to cope with difficulties but would simply suffer from them if we were not prepared for tomorrow. Considering the current life expectancy of 100 years, we need to prepare for retirement, so that we do not go through troubles in our old age. This is true for individuals, society, and nations: They all need to prepare for tomorrow. God prepares something beyond our imagination; for those who love Him.
