Question: Are you saying that two options are really equal or that they only seem equal? Wouldn't God know how each would turn out and know that one was really better?

Answer: In the ultimate sense, no two options are perfectly equal. If you're shopping for a car and you narrow the choice to two vehicles, one will turn out to be the better value. And, yes, God knows which one that is. But He has not promised to divulge that information and you are not required to know it in order to make an acceptable decision. Furthermore, the choice you make cannot obstruct the outworking of God's sovereign purposes for your life with respect to that car. Indeed, as we shall see, God is sovereignly at work in your decision to accomplish His purposes. At a practical level, then, the ultimate superiority of one of two options is not our concern. If two options are equally moral and wise on the basis of the wisdom God has given us, then He is equally pleased with either choice. He, however, is sovereign and will work out the choice that best fits His sovereign plan for us and for the universe.
