God Who Prepares
(1 Co 2:9-10)

* (Genesis 22:13-14)
Eternity means the creative combination of indefinite past and indefinite future. In God, there exists the past and the future simultaneously. Our past and future are in the hands of God who hold them in the form of present. Therefore, He knows all the problems we have in advance while preparing for solutions to the problems.
