On Plans

All my life I have been taught about the Plan.  Plan with a capital P, because it's big.  Big enough that it encompasses every person on the earth: all those who lived before, those who live now, and those who will yet be born.  The Plan of Happiness, the Plan of Salvation, the Plan of Redemption.  The scriptures have given it all kinds of names - all accurate - and basically, it is the Plan that God put into motion to allow all His children the opportunity to be saved.

This week, I gained a bit of insight into another plan.  This one has a little p, because it's comparatively tiny.  But just as important.  This plan is the one He has carefully and lovingly designed for me.  Not me along with all His other kids - just me.  It's the micro version of the big Plan - and there's a micro version for everyone.

Being one who loves creating both a high-level conceptual design and a low-level detailed process flow, it is a comforting and happy thought to know that there is a 100,000-foot view that encompasses the entire world, and a 10-foot view that is just for me.

And that is one more reason why I believe.
