We make plans. It is my understanding that God ultimately decides if they will succeed or not. He grants us the great privilege of choice, but He is the final architect of the future. Our choices reflect one of the ways He governs. He desires that we want what is good, but will often allow us to choose what is bad to learn this. Any parent can see the wisdom of this approach. Wise parents also know that they must step in from time to time and save their children from bad choices.
