Look into it

"God's control is absolute in the sense that men do only that which he has ordained that they should do; yet they are truly free agents in the sense hat they decisions are their own, and they are morally responsible for them." ~ J.I. Packer

I came across this quote in some of my reading and really thought it summed up nicely the reformed view of God's sovereignty and Human responsibility. This is one of those big theological questions that can rattle around in your mind and tend to drive a person crazy or at the very least keep sleep away. While I don't hold that you have to stand where I stand on topics such as this, it being non-essential for salvation, I do think that we all need to look into these deeper things.
