In Second Isaiah, on page 189, I love the quote that says, "God's thoughts are higher than human thoughts." I think if I thought about that more often I would not worry as much about things and I would be more patient with God's plan. Everyone needs to realize that God's thoughts are higher. We do not always know what God is thinking and what He is thinking is always better than what we are thinking. So, we do not have to worry about the plans for our life because God's thoughts, God's plans are better than our own.
I really like things that Heschel said aboout justice. He says,"Justice is as much a necessity as breathing is, and a constant occupation." We need to have justice in everything we do and all the time. It is not just a good thing, it is a necessity. I also liked the quote, "yet the concern for justice is an act of love."
I think that yes, God's plans are better then our own, but that we still have to be careful about the plans for our life because God did give us free will. I believe that God has a path set out for us, and wether we decide to take it to not is our own choice, but that he will always take us back if we veer off course for a little while. I completely agree with your Heschel quotes.
