Does God's will allow for human decision-making?

Answered in 1 source

Yes, God's will encompasses human decisions, but ultimately His purpose prevails.

While God’s will is sovereign and unchangeable, it also incorporates human decisions as part of His divine purpose. Humans make choices that, while seemingly independent, fall under God’s overarching sovereignty. Proverbs 16:9 states, 'The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.' This suggests that while we indeed make choices, it is God who ultimately directs the outcome. This belief comforts Christians, knowing that even in our decision-making, God’s will remains supreme and His purposes will not be thwarted.
