God works in many everyday things in our lives, and it is He who does these things and not we ourselves, or an ambiguous “nature” that does these things.

“… For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.”
Mtt 5:45 WEB

These are not just random happenings. God makes, He sends. Also this does not imply that He may not at some point or other makes specific moves to assist us or to correct us. The book of Job also speaks of God using the weather in various ways.

“9 Out of its chamber comes the storm,
And cold out of the north.
10 By the breath of God, ice is given,
And the breadth of the waters is frozen.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture.
He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
12 It is turned round about by his guidance,
That they may do whatever he commands them
On the surface of the habitable world,
13 Whether it is for correction, or for his land,
Or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.”
Job 37:9-13 WEB

But He is the one who encourages things, or blocks them, and sometimes merely allows them for a time.

It is all according to His will.

God overrules the affairs of men. So James argues that we should not be bragging about we are going to do.

“13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.” 14 Whereas you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.”
Jas 4:13-14 WEB

So what should we do?

“For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.” ”
Jas 4:15 WEB

God is the overruling authority over
ALL in heaven or earth.

He is the one who feeds us, and we should receive His bounty with thanks, for they are

“3 … foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.”
1Tim 4:3-4 WEB

We are NEVER outside of His power.

A disaster may occur which we never would have allowed if it were in our power! Outside of our power, but none are outside of God’s power!

“7 Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there! 9 If I take the wings of the dawn, And settle in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there your hand will lead me, And your right hand will hold me.”
Psa 139:7-12 WEB
