This question is commonly asked when the topics of 'free will' and 'predestination' are discussed. The sovereignty of God is one of His characteristics that is second only to His nature in terms of understanding, or difficulty in doing so. To understand the Trinity is close to impossible if not impossible. This is part of a God who can't be fully fathomed, for if the day were to come where we would COMPLETELY understand Him, that day would signal the day God stopped being God. WHY? Because on that day, we would have the God 'puzzle' figured out. And anything that has been figured out, we are masters of.
God's sovereignty is difficult to understand because in this world, we believe that since we have our being, we are entitled to something, even though it is HIS world. The mystery of God is one of the things that keeps mature believers coming back for more. By the same token, it is the same thing that causes immature non believers to grow frustrated, for they have the audacity to think or believe that God could be fully fathomed. They can't come to grips with a 'puzzle' that can't be figured out. Why is this so? Because in their vanity, not having EVERYTHING figured out, is reason for rebellion. The person who can't figure out rubik's cube, does what? Just gives up on it. I know, because I tried, but I just couldn't do it. I became so frustrated that I ripped pieces off the thing and tried to solve it that way. But God's mystery is different. I keep coming back for more because ultimately, it is a battle I can't lose. WHY? Because God isn't keeping score but I keep winning.
God. YOU. ARE. AMAZING. ;)
AND I LOVE YOU.
