That’s a pretty broad brush. Let’s get specific. Is God in control in some way of every action of man?Through freedom man fell. He touched the hot stove. Now we have the opportunity to experience-to know-both good and evil so that, with the help of revelation and grace we might begin to shun evil (hating it as God does) and develop a hunger and thirst for righteousness instead. And so seek God. Or answer "yes" when He calls.
This world has a purpose. God is perfecting His creation, with a plan that involves created beings coming to recognize their need for Him though hardship and struggle. Otherwise He may as well have just stocked heaven with the elect and hell with the reprobate to begin with and avoided all the ugliness this world has known from the beginning.
