Predestined?

I just wondered if every man has been  predestined for something.  
Take a look around.   You'll see,
A scavenger who satisfies himself with rubbish food yet feels happy to have his fill for the day.  
A jeepney driver who scampers around the streets from early in the morning until midnight to feed his family of five. An office personnel scurrying with the office politics just to get a raise or promotion.  Or a neighbor who early in the morning sits on a stool with his barkadas drinking liquor until dusk. Or all those crime you'll see on tv.

Have you ever thought that some people are just  meant to die young or some people are just ought what they are to be.  Some people no matter how hard they bury their heads at work just won't progress in life.  Or some people no matter how hard they try to be a movie star or a singer just will not get the fame they dreamed of. Has it ever crossed your mind that you are pouring all your efforts on the wrong things because things will never be what you ought them to be? Did you ever thought of wannabes who with a stroke of luck or some "hand of God" suddenly became stars? Or how some people effortlessly just seem to draw luck on their side? 


Does God really has a master plan for each of us? Sometimes i thought that if God has predestined us for something then we don't really have to push or shove our way into life but instead figure out what God has planned for us in the first place so that we have lesser failures, lesser pains. But does God planned that someone could die so young? or Did God planned a son or daughter to become criminals? Or a sister to become prostitutes? Is God happy in my life of poverty? of depression? of pain?




The Word of God says;
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" Romans 8:28




God has a purpose for each one of us, a good purpose. And it's our call.  We have a choice to hear His voice  or do our own thing.  The only thing He has predestined for us is that in the end we ought to be in heaven. But it's up to us if we say YES or NO.


Take your pick.
