Sovereignty and Free Will

The fact that humankind 
can have complete and utter free will 
over the all affairs of their everyday lives, 
and that God will 
still accomplish exactly 
His ultimate plan and purpose, 
says MORE about God's sovereignty, 
not less... 

Which is why 
one of the most absurd things 
that Christians say in relationship to their everyday lives is: 
"God is in (micro-managing) control." 

If however, that is the precious and prevailing belief among believers, 
then we ultimately have no rational explanation for theodicy,***
and ultimately no inclination 
for the necessity of personal responsibility, 
in resisting and fighting of Evil.

We may be unwittingly abdicating Christ-likeness...

But I am afraid this is exactly where most of us are...
