Does God have a plan ?

(1/7) > >>

darren:
Greetings B.T. family, to me one of the best sayings Ray has tough me was and is U MUST READ THE WORDS. We have word for word in many scriptures  that tells us that God is love. These Scriptures are stated as fact, the words are God is love. Theres no guessing, opinions or speculation is to what many scriptures state word for word, God is love.  Here is my question. Can the B.T family help me find 2 or more scriptures that state as fact with the words that ( every thing that happens to humanity is all part of Gods plan). Are there any 2 or more scriptures that states  the words God has a plan. I guess Plan is the key word I'm looking for. This is very important for me at this time in my life  so i will thank you now for any help on this matter.

Hi darren and all,

Not sure you can find one or two scriptures that summarize what you seek. Here are some scriptures that might help us build on answering your question. I am sure others will refine and contribute:

Rom 8:20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Rom 8:21  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Rom 8:22  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

Act 17:24  God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Act 17:25  Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Act 17:26  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Act 17:27  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
Act 17:28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Act 17:31  Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.


Rom 1:19  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse

Then of course there is John 3:16

Also the OT Holy Days of God as given in Leviticus 23 reveal the plan of God.

Darren,
The word [plan] may not be stated, but there are scriptures that deal with it, I think.
Consider:
Psalm 33: 10-11,
Proverbs 16:9, Proverbs 19:21,
Isaiah 14: 24, Isaiah 25:1,
Jeremiah 29:11,
Luke 12: 11-12,
Ephesians 1: 3-10, Ephesians 3: 1-10
and James 4: 13-16.

Man to me almost every scripture shows me God's got a plan, hahaha.

Dave in Tenn:
seems like every man is a man with a plan too, JohnChris but the Lord just laughs.

Thanks for those, I think that will be my afternoon reading.

darren:
thanks Dave, JohnChris, and Microlink for taking the time to reply. would you 3 agree or disagree that God being in control of all things is the same as God has a plan?
