You hear it all the time. People claim that God didnt ordain or allow this negative relationship or marriage or car accident or insert X problem and "negative" thing here. But the truth of the matter is? There are a LOT of "negative" things that God ordained and planned for in not just your life, but in the lives of EVERYONE who has ever walked this planet or ever will. Whether it's being in an abusive marriage to choosing to give to a charity God planned for and ordained ALL ot it and everything that comes to pass in all of our lives. Like it or not, God is completely in control of not even our lives but everything that happens and everything that is alive. Ever notice the four seasons usually come at just the right time every year? Even the weather obeys Gods perfect will. Or the planets happen to revolve around the sun perfectly? That didnt happen just out of nothing. Or how each and every cell and molecular thing move perfectly according to Gods sovereignty and will? Even Satan who rebelled and turned against God forever needs permission from God before he can do a single action.
If you believe God isn't sovereign or completely in control of all things than you're basically an athiest. Because without his sovereignty and power there can be no God and atheists finally have indisputable proof that God doesnt exist. Why? Well for one the Bible says that God is ALL powerful and his kingdom rules over ALL (Psalm 103:19), the Bible says that God is in control of ALL things (Psalm 135:6) that God controls the steps of man as well and that man does it (Proverbs 16:9), and that each and every day, step, and action of our lives were planned out by God (Psalm 115:3, & Psalm 139:16). If the Bible lies or is contradictory than God ddnt write it and they're just writings of plain old men.
For God to make a mistake or to not have control over the lives of everything that exists would completely remove his power and sovereignty and that would mean that not only does he not exist but that atheism is correct and there is no God. For God to exist he has to rule over ALL because hes the ruler and creator of ALL things. Why else is it mans natural instinct to worship something? Whether Its TV, Justin Beiber or the latest signing craze, Donald Trump, or *insert X Idol here*. ANYTHING can become an idol if you spend more time with it than God or love it more than God.
It is coded into our DNA to serve God. Like it or not, Christian's are given eternal life to serve and have a personal relationship with God. Do you honestly think that we can be given sinless bodies to never worship or serve God? No! Because not serving God is sin! The bible is chuc full of this from prophet to apostle. The reason we exist and the why of why we're here is to worship and serve God! We serve God to earn his praise in the next life and the next life will involve bowing down to to and doing everything that God commands us to do while having a personal relationship with him! But that doesnt excuse the fact that we will serve and worship the almighty and all powerful creator that created us from the beginning for the sole purpose to not only serve him and do his will but to also have an eternal relationship with him. Forever!
Idc what you say, God is control of EVERYTHING and he NEVER makes a mistake. If something "bad" is in your life it's because God put it there for a greater purpose of good. You may not see it now, but you will.
