He Knows

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