Our confidence in what God is doing, and is about to do, is made secure by understanding what he's done in the past. And by looking at the light that shines from the past, we can find our way into the future. So looking ahead after looking behind, you'll see this theme played out many times this week. I'm going to show you how God uses examples of things past to explain what he's about to do. Because God is consistent and unchanging, by seeing how he accomplished things in the past we can understand how he's going to do it in the future. That harmony allows us to look behind and see the magnitude of what God's doing and understand His plans.
