There can be no higher calling than the pursuit of the knowledge of God Himself. Everything God does is based upon His character. Who He is. Yet so many of us have little to no knowledge of God. So, we often do not understand His ways, and instead end up believing in a god we like, rather than the God who reveals Himself through the pages of the Bible.
How we should try to understand the many facets of God's character, specifically His Sovereignty and what the Bible really means when it says, "The earth is the Lord's and its fullness."
"Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come," I Corinthians 10:11
