GOD'S PLAN, ACCEPT IT. # 3

God follows a plan in doing His work both in heaven and on earth. He has a blueprint for each life.

II Timothy 1:9 - "Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but
according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began."

Notice what God teaches. Not to every man some plan. One may reject God's plan for his life.
That is right, you may reject God's plan and fail to follow the program God has mapped out for you.
You may reject it and God won't stop you. You have the choice.

The psalmist tells us in the 8th Psalm that created things are doing God's will. The stars do what God
wants stars to do. The moon always does what God intended the moon to do. The sun always does
God's will. Man alone is given the right of choice. He may accept God's plan or reject it. God has
given man the freedom of choice.

God would have used Pharaoh as an ambassador to deliver his name to the nations of the earth, but he
failed God. He failed to surrender his stubborn will to God's plan for his life. God failed to get a favorable
response from Pharaoh. God gave him a dozen chances, but he rejected them. Finally God hardened
his heart and helped Pharaoh do the thing he was bent on doing.

Proverbs 29:1 - “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck , shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."

God never hardens a heart that has not turned against him already.
