       Can God just do anything even when he wants to? The Scripture tells us, for instance, that God wants all people to be saved—to come to a knowledge of the truth, all to choose him. Does this happen, though? We know it doesn’t. So, does God himself get everything he wants then? We would have to say, “No, I don’t think so.” So, why then should we expect to get ‘everything’ we desire, or even believe that God can indeed give us everything we desire? Going back to the earlier examples, can God just ‘make’ that guy or that girl to like you? Can he simply wave his hand, which changes their mind, and cause them to begin a relationship with you? Can God just wave his hand and make the people at the company you applied at give you the job? Or, do those people have free will, and are they considering numerous factors, and factors that might end up excluding you? You see, then, the folly in all this?
