I Know God's Plan

It's hard for me to get to a computer on Sundays, so most often there probably won't be a post that day.

Anyway! Whenever a person makes a decision, they have some perspective on their environment that is a part of that decision.

Let's say we have two high school students. One is paying close attention to the teacher, taking good notes, and asking questions when he doesn't understand something. The other is using his cell phone to do facebook. He stopped paying attention before he sat down.

Why? Well, both are doing what they think is the most important right then. But they are doing totally different things! And, whatever individual reasons they might have, because everybody's different, both of their decisions are affected by their perspective.

The guy taking notes has a perspective that sees to the end of the school year. He knows his grades will depend on him knowing this stuff. He decides that he wants good grades, so he puts out the effort he has to so he gets them.

The guy on facebook has a shorter perspective. He's not thinking about his grades. He's not interested in what the teacher is talking about, but he does like seeing his friends, so that's what he uses his time doing. Maybe he'll get to studies, later.

In order to make the best choices, I want to get the best perspective. Because I know a little about what happened before this life and what will come after, I can make solid choices that might mean work now, but will pay off later.

I know I didn't share very much about what God's plan is, but I wanted to focus on why I care about it, so I can come back and talk more about the plan itself later. If you don't want to wait, see what I believe for yourself at these links! If you like hearing people's stories, see God's Plan of Happiness. If you like short, cheesy videos, see "The Plan of Salvation". (Both are names for the "plan" I was talking about.)
I believe in the things I talked about here, and the plan presented by those links.
