There is a Master Plan

There is a master plan. It is God’s plan. All men were created as a result of the master plan for the purpose of it’s end. Creation, the world, life, your life is not an accident. There are no accidents in God’s plan because God does not make mistakes. People make mistakes but all human mistakes are taken account of in God’s plan. God is in control of everything in creation. God is in control of the implementation of the master plan. He holds it together, he knows every last detail. Part of that plan is our lives. God is in control of our lives not us. What do we know about the plan? We know about the plan through revelation. We do not know all or understand the entire plan. The plan is real because reality is real. Reality came into existence because He planned it and put the plan into practice. We are part of the plan because we exist in realty not outside it. There is order to the plan. It is not chaotic, segmented or piecemeal. Everything fits together. It is sequential, it rolls out in the completion of time, it isn’t there one moment; all delivered and completed, things and events happen one after another, things change perfectly, and there are no glitches or broken pieces. The plan works because creation works. God’s plan is divine providence; God guides, directs and makes happen his creation toward the perfection of his master plan.  Providence is “what happens”. Anything that happens in creation happens on purpose. It is God who makes it happen; that is why we call it Divine Providence. The plan is how it will happen and the result of it happening is creation. Who it happens to is Man. God’s plan is priceless, man’s plans are worthless. The master plan is good and beautiful and whole. The plan not only determines our origin but also our destiny. God planned to create us; he also plans to share his joy and happiness with us in the next life. God is the author of the plan. We have no rights over any of it’s aspects or the success of the plan. We can neither add nor subtract except partake in it. God’s master plan will give us everything we could ever dream of in return for one thing; man’s trust. God asks us to trust Him and His plan. God is infinitely wise, good, true and powerful and his plan reflects the nature of God. God trusts man and he asks man to return that trust. God trusts man by giving him the gift of free will and his image. Man can choose. His ultimate choice is either to accept and trust God or reject God. Man can trust God and his plan or reject God and ignore his plan. But man ignoring God’s master plan does not affect it’s implementation. God’s master plan takes account of every eventuality and detail. God’s plan will succeed because God does not fail and his plan is perfection.
