Check out this short devotional. You may not agree, but it makes you think:

http://www.ligonier.org/learn/devoti...s-sovereignty/
I disagree with Sproul's outlook on this one. Did God really involve Himself and His holiness in determining the outcome of the roll of dice in my grand-niece's game of "Chutes-And-Ladders?"

Was it the will of God that I had two eggs at breakfast, or did I choose that? Did God guide my hand so that I chose just the "right" eggs from the carton in the fridge, or did it really matter? Those eggs that remain, were they spared by God? Why were these eggs unfertilized while other eggs are fertilized and produce chicks?

For that matter... apply these questions to human fertilization. That month before we became pregnant with my first born son, did God choose that ova to die unfertilized despite all of my best efforts?

Are the molecules which constitute the good Rev. Sproul's keyboard with which he typed out this article ordained of God to be there and NOT, say, in the Vibram soles of his footwear?
