God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
As a philosophical idea, God’s decreeing of a thing has dominance over His seeing a thing beforehand. Even though…the word foreknowledge is more than pre-sight, we nonetheless cannot disregard the verity that God sees all things beforehand. Thus God’s seeing all things has forever been a reality to Him, and God’s determining all things has also been forever. These two have had eternal origins. As long as He has decreed, He has known; and as long as He has known, He has decreed. So, in one sense, we cannot put one philosophical idea ahead of the other in terms of time. Yet we can put one above the other in terms of dominance. If God has seen and determined at the same time, we cannot make His decreeing subservient to His knowing. The reason one is preceding the other in terms of force (not time) is that determination is a willful act of God, whereas seeing is a passive act. God cannot help but see all, but He wills to decree. Therefore what He determines, He sees; and what He sees, is determined. The force of decreeing a thing dominates the seeing.
Skin peaches by pouring boiling water over a few at a time and allowing to
stand a few minutes. Then dip in cold water and skins will rub off. After
peaches have been skinned, measure them and use one half of their weight in
sugar. Have a large, clean, covered stone crock and put in a layer of
peaches and a layer of sugar until all ingredients are used. Pour the
brandy over the layers. Cover the crock with a heavy piece of white muslin
before placing on the top of the crock. Set aside in a cool place and allow
peaches to stand 2 to 3 months before using. Source: Pennsylvania Dutch
