There is nothing bleak or flawed about the Plan of God.
The problem lies with our own lack of capacity to evaluate what He is doing. I know Christians who will not pray about a certain thing unless they can see how it will come about.
Didn't He say "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32, New American Standard)
Had you been between the Egyptians and the sea, you would never have heard of the sea being divided, nor could you have conceived of it. It is not likely you would have prayed for that, but surely you would have prayed for deliverance!
If we allow Him to, the Lord will lead us into the strangest of circumstances. We tend to bray and howl about the lack of escape or resolution, but that is only because we can't foresee or imagine how it could happen.
His ways are always higher than the human imagination. For that reason, we must take Him at His Word and take the matter to prayer, declaring to Him that He can have full play, whatever that means.
The bottom line is always, are you willing to agree with Him? What is it that glorifies Him? We don't always know. The tendency is to run ahead of God and either try to manipulate circumstances, or to pray according to sight or a fantasized result.
So often we want to lead Him instead of following Him.
He will not reveal the whole thing ahead of time, because we are to take up The Cross and follow Him. We don't follow a plan, we follow a Person.
We must all learn to wait. And if it seems to be too late, isn't that His responsibility? When we have yielded to Him in prayer, there is power to submit and agree with Him.
About absolutely anything.
