Does God have a plan; the answer is yes . LIVE BY FAITH AND YOU WILL KNOW.
You parents die, your loved one passed away, your pet die, death and destruction are everywhere around us, china virus, stress, losing your jobs and always looking for a chance and an opening to a better future but we keep facing the hardship and we ask what the plan is? Whats is God plan for me and when?
And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and God too planned, and the best of planners is God
QURAN; al-Imran 3:54
Did they then feel secure against the plan of God?- but no one can feel secure from the Plan of God, except those (doomed) to ruin!
Al-A`raf 7:99
Respite will I grant unto them: for My scheme is strong (and unfailing).
al-A`raf 7:183
Those before them did (also) devise plots; but in all things the master- planning is God’s He knoweth the doings of every soul: and soon will the Unbelievers know who gets home in the end.
Ar-Ra`d 13:42
Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or slay thee, or get thee out (of thy home). They plot and plan, and God too plans; but the best of planners is God
al-Anfal 8:30
The list goes on, but I think we have an answer.
Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” It might be argued that this verse properly speaks of the nation Israel and not of any individual, yet ALL THE FAITHFUL who trust in God rightly connect this to God’s relationship with believers Jewish and Muslims ( the submitters for one God ). . The matter is made clear by verses like Ephesians 2:10: “For we are God’s workmanship, created by God to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do;” and Acts 17:26, ( bible verses changed so many time during the years).
Where Paul argued to the Athenians that “from one man [God] made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.”
We wonder if God has a specific plan for their life, where they will live, what their life’s work will be, etc., and the Bible clearly teaches that God does. The question therefore becomes, “How do I know God’s plan?” The answer is that you do not know God’s foreordained plan for the details of your life, at least you don’t get to know it in advance. The apostle Paul tells us that “the righteous shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17), not by knowing what God’s plan is.
People usually seek to know God’s plan because they have decisions to make, and they don’t want to make them badly. We are seeking direction, as we should, so we want to know God’s plan. Let me say that there is something of a category error involved here. When the Bible speaks of God’s plan, it relates it to the sphere of his sovereignty and not to the sphere of our responsibility. God never tells us to figure what his secret plan is for us. We do, however, have quite a bit of knowledge about God’s will, not in terms of the details of our lives but in terms of what obedience to him demands. God’s will is that we should obey his Word, which we should glorify him in all things, that we should love him with all our hearts and minds and strength and love our neighbor as ourselves. That is God’s plan for your life, so far as your responsibility is in view.
In that respect, God’s Law is an outstanding help in THE FAITHFUL decision-making. Perhaps you have a job decision, and you are seeking God’s will. But he has already told you how you are to live, what constitutes a godly decision, what it means to follow his will. A good place to start is the holy book of Quran, and the Ten Commandments.
What we need for our decision-making is not new revelation about what God wants us to do, but rather obedience to what he has already revealed, along with wisdom to make good choices. James wrote, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all” (Ja. 1:5). Instead of revealing his plans for our future, God wants us to seek his wisdom in prayer and his will in the Bible.
How do we hear God and tell his voice from others? The answer is that God speaks to us in the Quran and the torah, which gives us a yardstick for assessing every other voice. God speaks to us in Scripture; and not the man made books
While we speak to him in prayer. I personally have had very strong “hunches” about what God was doing in my life, only to find by events that I was completely mistaken. Listening to God often means waiting for events or for godly wisdom as you seek to honor him with your life. Psalm 27:14 tells us, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” Often God will providentially open or close a door, asking us to biblically reflect on what is before us and act faithfully, seeking to honor him and be a help to others.
God’s will” when things are going well, when the sun is shining and we are receiving the things that we want. But God often leads us into difficulty, into trials and hardship. That is often his will, as it was for Paul and Silas who followed a vision to Macedonia only to end up in jail. Were they out of God’s will? They didn’t think so, nor did they spend time wondering about it. Instead, they went about their work and God used them mightily from their cell.
God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life – but it probably isn’t the plan you have in mind, unless you were hoping for difficulty and pain and hardship and toil. What you want is success and comfort and temporal happiness.
The most significant plan God has, and the one that we ought to pay closest attention to, is the one revealed in Romans 8:28-30, which tells us that the burden really does not rest on our ability to perceive God’s plan, but rather his faithfulness to the plan he has for our salvation. BY FAITH AND BY TRUSTING IN GOD ALONE, BY HIS GRACE AND MERCY WE WILL BE SAVED and not by any other man in earth or any other person not even by Jesus as he is just a man that god created.
The devil plan is clear and that is promising his followers wealth and lust but all he can deliver is poverty and disease, stress and agny , sorrow and lies yes many those who follow him and the never repent and they believe that God have a son and then commit the worst sin against God and that is making other Gods beside him .
