God's Plan for His Beloved Son

LESLIE LELAND

That God is indispensable to man is a fundamental fact of being, and it is equally true that man is indispensable to God. Without man, God would have no representation, no witness or expression. Isaiah declared, "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen." As the joyous fact dawns in human consciousness that man is essential to God, as witness to His glory, there comes a compelling challenge to go forward under Mind's direction and to fulfill God's plan for His beloved son.

Now God's plan is tangible, comprehensible, available to each of His children. God has made man capable of comprehending His thoughts and ready to execute His command. "What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"

Under God's plan we must firmly close the door on human speculation, on foreboding fear that past experience is inadequate, that preparation for a new step is insufficient, that environment is unfamiliar, that required standards are out of reach. We must listen with undivided attention to God's thoughts, listen for and obey His leading; listen and press forward, always with ear attuned to the divine voice.
