Ingrafted Branches

We see that when we disobey and disintegrate the patter of God's plans in our lives, It is we who suffer. But God never gives up on us, he makes all the efforts to bring the integration.
The First Adam Failed, Disintegrated the plans God had for the Humanity, Family, Friends etc, only the Second Adam fulfilled it by integrating "Faith & Obedience".
When Israel failed to be (The Fruit bearing Tree - Grape, Olive, Fig etc) God allowed it to be destroyed by other nations, bringing in "Gentiles" to "Salvation".
Paul wonderfully writes this integration of the "In grafted Branches while writing to Romans".
What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works...
Ingrafted Branches
Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
Though we might say, "God's plan for humans did not work". It is actually "Man's Plan". God's Plan always Works, His Words are for everlasting. He makes everything perfect. So, the clouds that we see today without clarity of his plan we should not get discouraged. It is with this cloud that he appears.
The plans of God are much higher, when we became "Independent" we lost the sight of his marvelous plans, his grand design, his matchless thoughts. It is only when we "depend upon his" will he show us the "Way". We disintegrate in every aspect of our lives, the Israelite asked for "Kings" as they saw other nations had, it was the God who was the "King of Kings" and "Lord of Lords". They tried to work out on their own every time, they tried to build a tower that reach heaven. God confused their language. Even so with "Kings" very few obeyed and did what God wanted them to do, the "Exodus" or "Deliverance" from the Egyptians has a great lesson for what God did for "Kings". Pharaoh's Heart and The Land of Egypt has a lots of lessons to be learnt. God ultimately has to intervene directly to "Destroy" the earthly king - Pharaoh(Who thought he was the god). God said:
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD."
