Meditation:
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. Romans 8:29
Explanation:
God’s wisdom is supreme. Now, we know after the fact but God knows before the fact. The word “foreknow” is from the Greek word proginosko. God’s foreknowledge can be illustrated in a limited way like the viewing of a parade. If you watch a parade from the ground level, you will see the floats as they come past one by one at a time. But suppose you could go up in a 30-story building and look down upon the parade? Then, you would not only see the float directly in front, but quite possibly the first and last float. You now have a different vantage point. We live in history. We see events as they come by one at a time. But, God dwells in eternity. He sees everything. He sees the beginning, the end, and everything in between. But, more than that He has foreknowledge of everything that happens.
Knowing can also imply that there is a relationship, as we discover when we examine the word “know” in marital relationships in the Old Testament (you can see Genesis 4:1, 17, 25; 19:8; 24:16). You can read those for further study on what “foreknowledge” means: Acts 2:23, Romans 11:2, 1 Peter 1:20.
Nakita natin ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos, sa Kanya walang imposible, walang natatago, walang nakakalimutan at walang naiiwan. Sa Kanya ang lahat ay hayag at nakaplano na noong pang una. Siya’y di nagbabago ng anumang Kanyang naiplano na.
