God's plans can seem quite mysterious to us.
But that does not means that there is no indication of what God's plans are, or that we can't discern God's plans for us.
We believe that God's plans for us are for our good and that He wants to grant peace and joy in our lives.
Hence, we must walk in the ways of the Lord and discern what He wants of us as life unfolds.
In the gospel, Jesus reminded the people of two occasions when God had plans to cleanse the world sin and corruption.
God sent signs through Noah and Lot so that if the people had heeded the signs they will repent. But the people did not heed the signs and they were punished.
As the 1st reading puts it - naturally stupid are all men who have not known God, despite seeing His works and the beauty of creation that all point to God.
May we always reflect and meditate on what we see around us and may we also come to see God in creation and also His plans for us.
