God never told them that their writings would be saved in the Holy Word of God, going down through history 2000 years. I am sure it didn't cross their minds that someone in 2017 sitting at a machine called a computer could call up their words on hundreds of places on something called the internet.
If we are amazed that we can read the words of someone in nearly every language of the world in a book that was preserved all this time, how much more astonished we should be that we can do this on a machine that reaches the entire world in seconds, nearly instantly.
The apostles didn't have the ability to make copies of what they wrote, they depended on God to get that one letter to the church for which it was written, that's all they knew about where their writings would end up. But we can copy and send letters to every corner of this globe without leaving our homes.
To recap:
Later others copied those letters, preserved them, then they were protected in caves, copied again into hundreds of languages to be given out in books all over the world, now we have the internet, these same letters can reach the other side of the world instantly, waiting in someone's cyber mailbox until they sit down at their computers to call up their mail.
I don't know about you but this makes me excited about all the things the Lord has in store for us that we don't know about, what is coming is even greater than anything we have experienced thus far.
Have faith, what we cannot see is better yet!
Proverbs 3:5-6
"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight."
Psalm 118:8
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."
Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."
