Long before he became an embryo in his mother's womb, God already knew the prophet Jeremiah. The Lord said to him, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5).
All the days of our lives are written in God's book before we have ever lived one day on earth (Psalm 139:16). Omniscient God knows the end of our story before the beginning — He's the one who is, and who was, and who is to come (Revelation 1:8). He is already fully aware of how life will turn out for each and every one of us. We are no surprise to God.
This morning I was praying about the souls that will be cast into hell for eternity, and God reminded me that He is omniscient (all knowing), and knows the end from the beginning. That can be mind boggling when you think of all the evil occurring in this world. It may cause us to wonder about God sometimes, because He allows tragedies to occur when He could easily put a stop to it. But Jesus said to the apostle Peter, "You don't understand yet the meaning of what I'm doing, but soon it will be clear to you" (John 13:7).
Have faith in God. He knows what He's doing, and all of this is no surprise to Him.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
