Question: So, one person I know was throwing tree limbs into a wood chipper, lost his balance on the edge of the truck, fell in suffering a grizzly death. I am unsure how this works for good behind the scenes. His widow and orphans didn't seem to think so. I am willing to read your explanation of how this works for good behind the scenes. I hope it isn't just hyperbole.
So accidents are not part of God's greater plan? Can accidents adversely affect God's greater plan? If God's greater plan included a particular medical researcher discovering a cure for cancer but 3 years prior to when he would make this discovery he is hit by a bus while crossing the street and killed. Does this mess up part of God's greater plan of one of the researcher's future cured patients becoming the next apostle Paul converting millions of heathens to Christianity? Or. would God intervene with the researcher's free will to cross the street by giving him a "Wait" sign instead of the "Walk" sign so the bus would still run the red light but not strike him? Or, did God create many worlds with a plan for each world. He may be killed by a bus in one or saved by the 'Wait" sign in another? Or, does he get a "do over" after being hit by the bus time after time until he decides not to cross the street on the "Walk" sign (see "Groundhog Day" for reference)? Or, does God just let it happen and change his plan to let someone else discover the cure for cancer so the next Apostle Paul can still convert millions?
Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus glorious eternal name!
It is not a hyper bole, because for every Saved humans, God has a greater plan to bless them for eternity for which he is now training and placing them for eternal Blessings. Accident happen sometimes because of carelessness and at other times because of unavoidable circumstances....yet God's greater plan will succeed. Amen. Cheer up and rejoice in the LORD always!
Are accidents part of God's original plan?
Accidents happen accidentally, but God who knows the end from the beginning (Isa 46:10), can keep those who are called until His purpose on earth gets fulfilled through them (Rom 9:28, 29-30). For example David the King of Israel had so much danger and accidents in his life both physically and spiritually, but through his own prayer and God's grace and mercy, God kept him from accidental death until his purpose for him could be fulfilled for his entire generation (Acts 13:36). In other words, accidents cannot happen until the time of God's purpose for a believers life get fulfilled. As for unbelievers, if they are not careful to be attentive and logically alert in their lives both physically and spiritually, the ability which God has given to every human, accident might happen for them to die suddenly.
Can accidents affect God's original plan and purpose from being fulfilled?
No it cannot affect God's original plan and purpose from being fulfilled, as God knows the end of everything and everyone from the beginning, not even a bird can fall to the ground without the Heavenly Father's will (Matt 10:29), which means accidents can occur through human errors or machine errors or even spiritual influence of the evil one (John 10:10), but God knows it all and allows in His will so that the future heavenly plan for each one get fulfilled if they choose to believe it in their own lives for the Glory of God (Rom 8:20, 22). God allows things to die in the hope of a better world, so that soon the sons of God who are believers in their glorious body could rise up and restore the fallen earth to rule optimally and effectively with the righteousness of God and its blessings in all the realms of life for a thousand years time in this old earth and old heaven, and then for eternity in the new heaven and new earth (Rom 8:19, 23-28). Glory!
There are no primary plan which is God's best intentional plan or secondary which is a back up plan for God in case the first does not get fulfilled due to many reasons that God himself has not been able to fathom fully. There is only one will of the Almighty, one plan and one purpose of God which is original to God, and He makes sure that it happens as He wills and according to His own pleasure (Isa 40:13, 28; 46:10; 55:10-11). But Satan is not omnipotent like God, so he has back up plans of many duplicates which he will try his best to fulfill, even if one fails, he will go for another to make it happen. But God has always the last laugh, only when He gives Satan the permission to do something, he will be able to do, even if what he does may look so wicked, vile and evil. God has allowed evil temporally in this decaying world, so that through it, His eternal will, plan and purpose for the eternal blessings of all humankind may overtake the temporal one for those who choose to believe him and live for His Glory. God has never stopped evil completely, through he restrains it up to some point of time, after which he allows and causes the judgment of God to take place and consume the sinful things of people, places and the instigators of it even in the unseen spiritual realm.
We are living in a temporal world affected by sin, the sinless world to come is eternal for all believers. So we as believers in Christ Jesus are looking for that world to come where we will live together with God forever. In this world, all creations groans for a new world, all those who are believers too groan for this, but unbelievers are blaming God for the sins of the world, while it was Adam our forefather who was the cause of it. In other words, if we acknowledge our sins in humility to take responsibility for it, God gives us a cure for sin in Christ Jesus through salvation, which gives us a hope of future resurrection in a new world. Because of that hope, God has allowed death and sin to prevail until now, and helps those who believe in the new world to overcome it progressively more and more now in their lives, to prove to them of their soon coming sin, corruption and death free world of God and a awesome future awaiting for them.
God loves us too much to let us live without Jesus, that is why he has sent him so that we can be part of that new world of God, where righteous reigns, where death due to accidents are no more..., where love prevails over law...., where God will be with us forever and ever. We will have all our needs and wants met by God himself as He will be our shepherd and guide and friend forever. Hallelujah!
Much Blessings...
