What does the Bible say about the relationship between human choice and God's sovereignty?

Scripture upholds both human responsibility and God's sovereignty as glorious truths that coexist. Proverbs 16:9 indicates that while a man's heart devises his way, it is the Lord who directs his steps. This shows that while we plan and make choices, God’s sovereign will ultimately reigns over every decision and outcome. The actions of Judas and Pharaoh, for example, illustrate how men make genuine choices, yet these choices fulfill God’s overarching purpose (Genesis 50:20). Understanding this balance helps believers navigate their faith and responsibility within the context of God's sovereign grace.
