Have you ever been stopped by something that was so simple that it was profound? This quote did it for me:

God planted the tree that Zacchaeus would have needed 20-50 years before he needed it – amazing!

He also knew my family needed to live in our current town 13 years before we did. We tried to find a home in a more rural area, but couldn’t find anything we liked, so we ended up where we thought we didn’t want to be.

But the school system has everything our girls have wanted and needed. And we are within range of being on standby for the job my husband is working towards, something that wouldn’t be true of where we started house hunting. This job is something we never thought he’d be doing, but God did, and that’s why He found us our home where He did.

How has God shown you that He knew what you would need years before you did?

Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
