In recent history, a tunnel was constructed, stretching from Great Britain UNDER the English Channel, in order to connect Britain with the rest of Europe. The total length of the tunnel is a little more than 20 miles.
IN order to accomplish that - of course they used machines of many types - including Massive machines that can bore a hole of more than 12 feet in diameter through soil and rock.
Of course they also used Gps (Global Positioning Satellite System) to accurately measure the route while digging THROUGH the soil - UNDER the water of the English Channel! Altogether it is a marvel of engineering It is called "The Chunnel". (the Tunnel under The English Channel).
More than 2,000 years Before the "Chunnel" --- We read in 2 Kings ** 20:20 *, and then 2 Chronicles 32:30 - that King Hezekiah had his men dig a tunnel from the spring at Upper Gihon---to the west side of the City of David.
Now To quote the Footnote for 2 Kings 20:20 "Two crews dug the tunnel through solid rock. One group started from the pool of Siloam, the other group started at the Spring of Gihon. This tunnel was a remarkable feat of engineering, and can be seen in modern Israel today." (Footnote/2 Kings 20:20/page 561/New Kings Bible).
It is obvious that during King Hezekiah's reign, they did not have massive machines to do the digging. Also, they did not have a Global Positioning System!
BUT GOD gave to Hezekiah and his team ** 20:20 * vision!!! (See 2 Kings Footnote mentioned above).
So, no Global Positioning System --- But Hezekiah's men had GOD'S POSITIONING SPIRIT!!!
No massive machines --- but GOD'S Power Through the men {"...Beyond what we would dare ask or dream..."} (Ephesians 3:20/Amplified Bible).
(Kings 20:20) "Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah - all his might, and how he made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city...".
(2 Chronicles 32:30) "This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of upper Gihon, and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David..."
You and I cannot "see" the future --- but GOD our Heavenly Father "...wrote down all our days before the day of our birth..." (Psalm 139:12-16). And as we "bow down before Him, and Ask and Allow HIM" - He will guide and enable us through the events (tunnels) of our lives --- all the way to "...the city (in heaven) which is illuminated by GOD. The Lamb is its light." (Revelation 21:23).
(James 1:5) "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of GOD, Who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
Because we cannot "see" the future, we can't "see" GOD--- We CAN and WILL TRUST HIS HEART. He loves us SO MUCH that He paid the highest possible price for each and every one of us (the death of HIS SON JESUS on the cross); And HIS heart toward us DOES NOT CHANGE:
"I AM the LORD, I DO NOT CHANGE." (Malachi 3:6).
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."(Hebrews 13:8).
Jesus is "...the Yes and Amen to every promise of GOD." (2 Corin-
thians 1:20).
"I will guide you along the best pathways for your life. I will advise you and watch over you." (Psalm 32:8).
Let US Praise HIM! Thank HIM! Bow before HIM! Worship HIM!
"Worthy is the Lamb". (Revelation 5:12).
