God already knows all the events that have transpired in the past as well as all things that will occur in the future. When this verse says, “He has set eternity in our hearts,” it means that we grasp that history isn’t meaningless – but are totally perplexed in the sheer complexity of it’s pattern of events. But it also tells us that God’s creative activity across time is always appropriate & fitting…predetermining how each tiny detail will fit perfectly into His Master Plan. The Apostle Paul summed it up well in Romans 11:33 when he wrote, ” Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways!” So we are left in the end with the simple awe of God’s sovereignty and power, knowing He is in total control.
