Hi Roy,
But if you have learned this now; then GOD Thru Jesus Christ Has Done Exactly What HE purposed for you in this instance. Awesome to know that even those little details from infancy were preparatory parts of the new man you are becoming. Jesus Christ Has not left anything to chance, no not anything at all.
Look at a few examples in Scripture of What GOD Does; and How It Is Done.Isa 48:1-13 (GW)1 Listen to this, descendants of Jacob! You are given the name of Israel. You are descended from Judah. You take oaths by the name of the LORD. You acknowledge the God of Israel, but you are not honest or sincere.
2
You call yourselves citizens of the holy city. You depend on the God of Israel. His name is the LORD of Armies. 3
From the beginning I revealed to you what would happen. These words came out of my mouth, and I made them known. Suddenly, I acted, and they happened. 4
I know that you are stubborn. Like iron, you are hardheaded. Like bronze, nothing gets through your thick skull. 5 That is why I revealed to you what would happen long ago. I told you about them before they happened. I did this so you couldn't say, "My gods have done these things. My carved idols and my metal idols have commanded them to happen."
6 You've heard these words. Now look at all this. Won't you admit it? From now on I will reveal to you new things, hidden things that you do not know.
7 They are created now, not in the past. You haven't heard about them before today, so you can't say that you already knew about them.
8 You have never heard about them. You have never known about them. Your ears have never been open to hear them before. I know that you've acted very treacherously and that you have been called a rebel since you were born.
9 For my name's sake I'll be patient. For my glory's sake I'll hold my anger back from you, rather than destroy you.
10 I have refined you, but not like silver. I have tested you in the furnace of suffering.
11 I am doing this for myself, only for myself. Why should my name be dishonored? I will not give my glory to anyone else.
12
Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called. I am the one. I am the first and the last. 13
My hand laid the foundation of the earth. My right hand stretched out the heavens. When I call for them, they both stand. Jer 1:4-16 (GW)
4 The LORD spoke his word to me,
5
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations." 6 I, Jeremiah, said, "Almighty LORD, I do not know how to speak. I am only a boy!"
7
But the LORD said to me, "Don't say that you are only a boy. You will go wherever I send you. You will say whatever I command you to say. 8 Don't be afraid of people. I am with you, and I will rescue you," declares the LORD.
9 Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. The LORD said to me, "Now I have put my words in your mouth.
10
Today I have put you in charge of nations and kingdoms. You will uproot and tear down. You will destroy and overthrow. You will build and plant." 11 Again the LORD spoke his word to me and asked, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I answered, "I see a branch of an almond tree."
12
Then the LORD said to me, "Right. I am watching to make sure that my words come true." 13 Again the LORD spoke his word to me and asked, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a boiling pot, and its top is tilted away from the north."
14 Then the LORD said to me, "Disaster will be poured out from the north on all those who live in the land.
15 I am going to call every family and kingdom from the north," declares the LORD. "They will come, and they will set up their thrones at the entrance of Jerusalem's gates. They will attack all the walls around the city and all the cities of Judah.
16 I will pass sentence on my people because of all their wickedness. They abandoned me, burned incense to other gods, and worshiped what their hands have made.
