YOUR PLAN: The successs of other people has given some men the inspiration and desire to be successful also. Perhaps, you are in a particular school because you wish that someday, after you have graduated from the course you have choosen, you will become successful in life also. You desire to have a successful career. YOUR PARENTS PLAN: Or perhaps your parents enrolled you to a very expensive school or learning institution to make sure that you will really have a good future. Perhaps, they want you to become a successful or famous scientist, astronaut, lawyer, auditor, accountant, engineer and many more. There is nothing wrong with that. However, it is not an easy thing to obtain or reach any of those goals. You need to read the manual. You have to read the how to's? You cannot be an astronaut if you do not know how to operate space shuttle. You cannot be a good lawyer if you do not know how to defend the rights of your clients. You cannot be a good doctor if you do not know how to examine and determine the type of illness your patient has. If you wish to become an chemical engineer you need to know how to apply the principle of science in chemistry. GOD'S PLAN: In the same way, God has a plan for us. God said in the Holy Scriptures, " I know the plans I have for you, the plan to prosper you, the plan to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,and i will listen to you.You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart." Yes, God has a plan for each one of us. A very, very good plan. But, you will ask? Sir, if God has a good plan for each person then why is there suffering, why there are criminals, why there are people who's life seems to be wasted? Why chaos exist in this world? As i have said, God has a very good plan to every one of us. His plan is contained in the manual called Holy Scripture or what we call as Bible. However, God has given us freedom. We have a will. The will to obey Him or not. We have a choice. We may choose to implement His plan for us. We may choose not to implement His plan for us. God did not create us to be robots. We have a will. The point is, if we will choose to implement the Best plan of God for our life then we must come to Him, read His plan and do it. I am the way, the truth and the life.

hey there joseph.. as always your topics are very well said.. amen to that.. but then even if God has a plan for all of us i think we are the ones controlling our life.. God already knows what we're going to do and he knows that in the end we will all make the right choice.. am i right? .. haha.. but then again there are these people who only care about their wants and the only way they can get them is by being bad.. lol.. so maybe thats it.. [i].. swollen minds and spoken lies.. ..you'll never hear their silent cries..[/i] - hush

We can plan our life within the borders of limits prescribed by God. Humankind is created to know God. Human has to do what our creator want us to do. Creator know about us everything than we know ourselves. God have been revealing the guidance and reviving it through several prophets in different times (eg. Moses, Jesus, David, Abraham, etc...) The last edition of guidance manual to the whole humankind all over the world till the last hour is revealed through the final messenger Prophet Mohammad. Which is the Holy Quran. Quran mention the way of life. Peace.
