https://socialmediaministries.com/god-plans-in-detail/ God is the most detailed planner ever. No matter what circumstance, scenario, outcome, et cetera, God knows every single detail and every single potential detail. Basically, God has every single second and every single detail planned out. Does that mean you don't have free will? No. However, that is a topic for another time. The focus of this week's message is that since God has everything planned and everything in God's plan, then God is in control of everything. This may seem confusing or even impossible to fathom but, fortunately, there are examples that help show how God's planning works in our lives. One example is found in the book of Esther. In the book of Esther, it tells a story of a Jew named Mordecai who saved the king's life and as a result, was promoted to a high position in the king's court (Esther 2.21). However, during this time there was also a man named Haman who hated Mordecai and wanted all Jews killed (Esther 3.5-6). So, Haman devised a plan and convinced the king to issue an edict that on one particular day, all Jews would be killed (Esther 4.7). When Mordecai learned about this plan, he informed Queen Esther about it, since she was also Jewish. Initially, she didn't want to get involved because she thought she might lose her own life if she did (Esther 4.11) but Mordecai convinced her otherwise by saying "Who knows whether you have not come to your royal position for such a time as this?"(Esther 4.14b). In other words, maybe God had put her in that specific position at that specific time, so she could save her people. And sure enough with some convincing from Esther Haman's evil plot was revealed and thwarted and instead of being executed he ended up being hanged on the gallows he had built for Mordecai (Esther 7.9-10; 9.25-27)! So, what does all this mean? It means that no detail is too small or insignificant for God. He knows every single thing that happens or will happen, and He has everything under His control. We see another great example of this truth in Matthew 10 where Jesus sends out His disciples on their first missionary journey, telling them not to worry about anything--not even what they will say when they are put on trial because "it is not you who will speak---it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you" (Matthew 10.20)! Can you imagine? The Holy Spirit Himself would give them utterance! What a wonderful display of God's sovereignty over every single detail!
