God is in Absolute Control
This verse is a powerful declaration of God's absolute sovereignty. Commentators like Calvin and Gill stress that both good circumstances and "evil" (calamities, not sin) proceed from God's will and decree. To believe that things happen by random chance is to misunderstand God's nature as the active ruler of His creation. Nothing occurs outside of His ultimate control and purpose.
