The foreknowledge of God is a perplexing subject. On the one hand it is easily stated. Yet it is difficult when we try to get our finite minds around it.
It has been established that God is omniscient or all knowing. He knows what lies ahead a hundred or even a thousand years. In fact God knows what will happen from now until eternity! This we know but have difficulty comprehending because of our own limitations.
As already stated in these posts and comments God has a plan. Some would have us believe that everything, even to the minutest detail, happens according to God's plan. Such cannot be established from the scriptures. What can be shown is that God formulated His plan according to his foreknowledge
Consider the following question in this regard.
Which of the following statements is true?
God planned on Adam and Eve sinning therefore they sinned according to the plan of God.
He knew that they would sin therefore He planned accordingly.
Let us know what you think. Happy pondering.

He remembers what the squall was, but his mom and dad never even had a
clue. Not even when the event took place. There is nothing quite like the
experience...

Dear Josiah,
I would have to say that "He knew that they would sin therefore He planned accordingly." was the more accurate statement.

Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Ha! Planned accordingly. Deboraw
