I know sometimes we try to play the role of God and create our own religion where possibly everyone lives in Heaven and there isn't any Hell. We might even create a religion where every god is acceptable and there is no way that a perfect and good God would be able to condemn someone to Hell for eternity, and maybe there are second chances after death. But as I said, following God is believing that HE HAS A PERFECT PLAN. There is no way that we can see or understand it now, and I am not sure we ever will, but I do know that God makes a better god than I do. And while I sometimes take it upon myself to suggest to God that maybe He should come up with a better plan for me and for others, when I take a step back I realize how foolish I am to think that I can counsel God. We must remember and take comfort in the fact that God is in control!
"Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.
I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.’"
Isaiah 46:9-10
