For roughly the last 500 years, man has been perplexed just how to understand the balance of God's sovereignty and man's free will. Most likely, we will never have this figured out completely on this side of heaven but here is something to ponder...consider the intricate dynamics of God's plan of redemption. He has established "everything" to work together for good and to work according to His plan. This is the great relief of all who believe. A famous quote says, "A God that can be understood is no God. Who can explain the Infinite in words?". God has not called us to understand Him fully, rather He has called us to trust Him and love Him.
