To me, a God Who is in control of my life and Who wrote every detail of it ahead of time so that it all works together for good, is a God worthy of my praise, thanks and worship. Why would I be at
all comforted by a god who would give me even a smidgen of independence from Him? And how could I thank HIM for that smidgen of independence, were it true? I would have to thank myself for whatever I did during the smidgen. Humans who control things may be control freaks, but a God Who controls everything is a benevolent Subjector Who wrote a perfect Script ahead of time and is carrying it to completion at every moment.
