The Bible shows that God is powerful and knows everything that will happen. He has plans for every person, and nothing happens by accident. This means that God is in control of our lives, even when we do not understand what is going on. He sees the future and knows what is best for us, even when things are hard.
But at the same time, God gives people the freedom to make choices. He does not force anyone to obey Him. In many parts of the Bible, God tells people to choose the right path. He gives us the chance to believe in Him, to follow His Word, and to do what is good. This shows that while God is in control, we also have a part to play in shaping our lives through the decisions we make each day.
A good Bible verse that explains this balance is from
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV): “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
This means that God has good plans for us He wants to give us a future full of hope. So yes, God is in control, but He also lets us walk with Him by making the right choices.
