Question
Does the will of God precede my actions, or are my actions initially independent?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The knowledge and will of God Almighty are prior; otherwise, He would not deserve to be a God. However, this does not affect your choice and will in selecting what you want. The first pertains to the attribute of the Lord, and the second to the attribute of the servant, and they are different. And God knows best.
