In the bible the devil does not believe he is following God's plan although really he is.
The Bible never said anything about Lucifer being the Devil, or the fallen angels in general. there's only one line "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!" in which "Lucifer" is more likely refering to Babylon rather than Devil. the Lucifer is fallen angel and Devil stuff is not in the Bible.

Instead there are various references in Old Testament to Satan/Adversary who sounded more like a proxy of God.
