Here it is as I see it.
God has plans for the future - He will bring them about.
His plan for us is simple - Live godly lives, honor and love Him (worship Jesus). Love your neighbor
Our free will is operating and changing the future every day. This is not a futile exercise. Life matters. Our choices and decisions and actions actually matter - for eternity!
Whew! I feel a little better now. Thanks for listening.
I have to say though that your name puzzles me. I'm sure we'll be finding out soon enough why you chose that.
