God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The Scriptures recognize both the sovereignty of God, and the free agency, and accountability of man. Consciousness assures us of the latter. The nature of God...proves the former. The Bible makes no attempt to reconcile the two.
Preoccupied with ourselves, we have lost the grace of being thankful. It is sad to live in a world where there is no one to thank because we have ourselves become the cause and source of all good things.
