It is useless to think we have any control over our lives. Whatever happens to us, though it may seem that we orchestrate it and have free will, ultimately God is in control and has a plan for us far more superior than anything we can imagine. Do we have free will? I often ask this question because God has a plan for us. Maybe God’s plan is based on how we react to certain situations, and he readjusts His plan when He sees our reaction, but even that doesn’t make sense, being He already knows how we will react. From my questions, you can see why I asked God to fill in some of the gaps in my understanding. If you think you have it all figured out, be careful; God will show you that you don’t. The best we can do is stay rooted in God’s Word, rejoice in what He shows us, worship Him daily, stay constant in prayer, and be thankful for Jesus and our salvation through him. In Job 10, Job continues to plead for God’s mercy. He knows that his life is in His hands; God made us and maintains us, so it is best that we submit to Him. There’s that word: submit. Until you learn what that means to God, you will continue to become undone when a crisis hits.
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee. Job 10:11-13
