He Knows

It was a chilly misty morning as our ship, the Mormacsea, approachedthe port of Buenos Aires. We had been traveling on her for five weeks andundoubtedly were anxious to arrive. Without a doubt there were questionson our minds as the tall buildings of this great metropolis gradually cameinto view through an overcast sky or perhaps, we were so innocent wedidn't know what questions to ask. This really was the beginning of a greatadventure and we had absolutely no idea what was before us. However, Godknew. He knew all along why He was sending us to this new land, thisnew language, this new culture and yes, this new to us Salvation Army. Aswe write this we can look back and are grateful that God had a long-termplan for us. It is a good thing that we didn't know then what God knew. Wewould probably have shrunk from what He had in mind. But because Heknew, He gradually prepared us step by step and didn't require from usanything until He had prepared us for it.
