One has stated, "God does not permit things to happen. He purposed all that comes to pass in time, before time began. And all that He ordained from eternity and performs in time, is good."
Sadly, many in Christendom do not accept the teaching of God's absolute Sovereignty over His world. I offer the following Scriptures without comment, for your perusal:
"Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord?" Exodus 4:11
"See now that I myself am He! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand." Deuteronomy 32:39
"The Lord brings death and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and raises up. The Lord sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts." 1 Samuel 2:6-7
"Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" Job 2:10
"For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground." Job 5:6
"For He wounds, but He also binds up; He injures, but His hands also heal." Job 5:18
"When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other."
Ecclesiastes 7:14
"This is what the Lord says: As I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will give them all the prosperity I have promised them." Jeremiah 32:42
"Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?" Lamentations 3:38
"When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it?" Amos 3:6
