Summary: God has a plan for everyone on a condition that they work and walk righteously before him.
Brethren God has a plan for you on a condition that you work and walk righteously before him. His plan for Abraham was revealed with a condition of walking in perfection which is in righteousness. Ge:17:1: And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. Ge:17:2: And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

4. Plan of blessing – Psalms:5:12: For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. Proverb:10:6: Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
5. Plan of his presence & provision – Psalms:14:5: There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. Psalms:37:25: I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
6. Plan of Deliverance – Psalms:34:17: The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. Psalms:34:19: Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
