God controls everything to the roll of the dice in a game. God decides where every drop of rain falls and where every man lives. Nothing in the world happens by chance. God controls every move of every being and every cell of every person in the world. Weather including every storm is controlled by a God who is holy and is the king. Even the people who go to heaven are the ones God personally picks the people who go to heaven and the ones who go to hell.
Ecc 3 14 I know that whatever God does,
It shall be forever.
mNothing can be added to it,
And nothing taken from it.
God does it, that men should fear before Him
If God decides to not save a person it is his plan and God is right.
Is I jam the Lord, and kthere is no other; (this means every thing that is out there not from God is a fake and if you follow it you are not right. It means if you think Allah is god your wrong and you need to adjust your faith. My family always likes to make me say they are right and if I judge them I am wrong but the truth is they are not into the bible God therefore what they think is right is wrong>)
There is no God besides Me. (The GOD of the bible is the father of the Lord Jesus)
lI will gird you, though you have not known Me,6 mThat they may nknow from the rising of the sun to its setting
That there is none besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;
7 I form the light and create darkness, (evolution did not have a thing to do with the creation of the world. Look at the cell and the complex things of the body. Evolution is wrong and your stupid if you even think it is at all right.)
I make peace and ocreate calamity;
I, the Lord, do all these things.’(God does it, he does all behind the thinks from making the world to controlling the storms to making games go his way. All games are Gods determined fate. )
No God But God
Most Western-style democracies guarantee freedom of religion. For example, the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution ensures that American citizens are free to practice whatever religion they choose (as long as they are not harming anyone). Perhaps because of this liberty, many people today assume that all religious beliefs or systems are basically the same. But that is not the case.
The God of the Bible insists that He alone is God. There is no other God besides Him (Is. 46:9). To modern ears, this may sound intolerant, or even arrogant. It certainly conflicts with certain fashionable beliefs today, which claim that more or less everyone and everything is God. But the Lord leaves no room for disagreement or compromise on the point: there is no God but God. One can either agree with Him or call Him a liar, but there is no middle ground.
Suppose we deny that God alone is God. That does not affect God in the least. He simply says that we are wrong, and reminds us that we are mere mortals, who will die. But God also warns us that our perspective is distorted, because we are stubborn-hearted sinners (Is. 46:8, 12). Who are we to decide who and what God is?
God refuses to be bound by our ideas of Him. That’s why He declares the truth to us: “I am God, and there is no other.”

He controls so-called random happenings. “The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord” (Prov. 16:33). “Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father” (Matt. 10:29).
He is sovereign over the free actions of all moral agents. “The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes” (Prov. 21:1). “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:10). “It is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13).
He determines even the most evil acts of sinners. Peter told the crowd who had demanded Christ’s crucifixion, “This Man, delivered up by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. And God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power” (Acts 2:23–24, emphasis added). The companions of Peter and John prayed, “Truly in this city there were gathered together against Thy holy servant Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Thy hand and Thy purpose predestined to occur” (Acts 4:27–28, emphasis added). Joseph told his brothers, “Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life” (Gen. 45:5). And Isaiah 10:5 says God used the wicked nation of Assyria as the rod of His anger.
He appoints the powers that oversee the evil world system. Pontius Pilate said to Jesus, “Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?” Jesus replied, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above” (Jn. 19:10–11). Truly “there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God” (Rom. 13:1).
Indeed, the whole course of all events and circumstances is ordained in the divine decree, from the most profound milestone of the divine plan to the most trivial detail. God even determines the number of hairs on our heads (Matt. 10:30).

Every event in life is orchestrated by.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
