God is not surprised by anything that happens. He is Sovereign Lord of the universe. He needs no “Plan B” to fall back on. With him it’s always “Plan A”. This has been such a source of peace for me ever since God revealed this truth to me. He is in complete control over everything in my existence. He knew all the messes I would make of my life, and He also had the plan to get me back on course and make me the man He wanted me to be. “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.” (Psalm 103:13-14)
