1. If god is all powerful

then nothing and nobody can alter god's plan. That being the case, if you believe god has a plan and you believe god is all powerful then everything that happens is part of that plan. If it happens, it's in the plan. If it doesn't happen, it's not in the plan.

So next time someone says "God's plan is for me to be rich." remind them if god wanted you to be rich, you'd be rich. Since you're not, god really wants you to be piss poor.

And for sure don't say "Thank god that earthquake victim was found alive under the rubble," don't forget to thank god for the hundreds buried under the rubble who did not survive, because that's the way god wanted it to happen.
