Our Plans vs God's Plans

Sometimes I'm really concerned about our culture and society. If you just look around at all the junk going on in our world at times it could and can be very difficult to see God. There are times when I hear about things that people are having to deal with and go through and it is easy to question if God has left us and given us over to our sins. You see cancer running rampant and claiming more and more lives everyday. Thousands of homes and families torn apart by divorce, thousands of lives being taken over asinine foolishness, people tearing their bodies apart to simply live up to a false standard of success that is neither attainable or realistic. So what do we do when everything seems to be going to the toilet? We claim and pray the promises that God gives us and be obedient to His word. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God has a plan for us, a plan not for destruction but for prosperity, a hope, and a future. So when all this mess is going on around us and it doesn't seem to add up it's because we don't have the math to be able to compute God's equation. I apologize for the triteness of that comment, but the heart of it is true. God sees a bigger picture than we do and knows exactly how He will accomplish his plan with us or inspite of us.
