The Grace Story: {Day 1} When it all began

Before the beginning, when there was no universe, no angels, only God -

Before the wheels of history had begun to spin -

Before a single human heart was beating - before my heart beat or yours -

Before the first man and woman chose to mar a perfect world by one sinful act -

Long before all this, God knew.

He knew what we would do.  How we would choose to sin, to rebel against Him.

And in His infinite and all-knowing heart, the Grace Story existed before even one page of history was written.  Peter says (in 1 Peter 1:20) that before the creation of the world, God had already chosen the One who would set things right again.

. . .

Let's pause here, and for a moment, celebrate the God who had a plan from the beginning of time.  That's how far back this Grace Story goes.
