Thought for Today: Tuesday, August 12
Have you ever wondered: Is everything that happens to us already determined by YHVH? Or do we have the ability to carry out plans on our own, regardless of what Elohiym hoped would happen? Many scholars and theologians have disagreed about this for many centuries – some stressing YHVH’s absolute control over everything, others emphasising our freedom to act on our own. The reason they have not agreed is because the Bible teaches both YHVH’s sovereignty and our human responsibility. To us, this sounds like a contradiction – and one I do not believe we will fully understand until we get to heaven. Until that day, we need to hold firmly to both truths: YHVH is in control of everything, but we are also responsible for our actions.

Moses got rejected and Joshua replaced him. Father's sovereign will to take Israel into Canaan was fulfilled through Joshua, even though Moses was the original choice.
So in my view, Father's will always trumps, but it is our choice whether we abide by it and remain in His favour or we do our own will and then get replaced in the plans to implement the sovereign will.

James 1:2-8 ESV
[2] Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, [3] for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. [4] And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. [5] If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. [6] But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. [7] For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; [8] he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
