What is God’s Plan for You?

God’s plan for you happens every day. Everything that happens around you involves God’s plan. We can either rise or fall to the challenges that God has planned for us. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, the priest and the Levite failed to rise to the challenge. On the other hand, the Samaritan rose to the challenge. If you are wondering what God has called you to do, then look around. There are plenty of people that you will come across in your daily journey that will need your help. Hopefully, you will always rise to the challenge and with God’s help will rise on the Last Day!

Gospel Section 34.1 - The Parable of the Good Samaritan

Luke 10:25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read?” 27 And he answered, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind’; and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered right; do this, and you will live.” 29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothing, beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and seeing, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed mercy on him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
